  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011235",
  "term": "Splicing",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A process in molecular biology where introns, non-coding regions, are removed from a precursor messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, and exons, coding regions, are joined together. This modification produces a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated into a protein. Splicing occurs within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.",
