Some spliced introns are precursors for further processing of other encoded RNAs such as small nucleolar RNAs, microRNAs, and long noncoding RNAs. Other intron products have long half-lives and can be exported to the cytoplasm, suggesting that they have roles in translation.
What happens to introns and exons after splicing?
During splicing, the introns are revmoved from the pre-mRNA, and the exons are stuck together to form a mature mRNA that does not contain the intron sequences.
Where do removed introns go?
Introns are removed by RNA splicing as RNA matures, meaning that they are not expressed in the final messenger RNA (mRNA) product, while exons go on to be covalently bonded to one another in order to create mature mRNA.
