  "term": "RNA Splicing",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. Removal of introns from mRNA precursors and the reattachment or annealing of exons.\n\n2. The process by which introns, the noncoding regions of genes, are excised out of the primary messenger RNA transcript, and the exons (i.e., coding regions) are joined together to generate mature messenger RNA. The latter serves as the template for synthesis of a specific protein.",
