pre-rRNA processing
-In eukaryotes, the gene is not continuous..."functional" sequences are interrupted"non-functional" sequences.-First discovered for adenovirus pre-mRNAs (PA Sharp 1977)-Intron/Exon structure (W. Gilbert) of eukaryotic genome
Tetrahymena rRNA contains one intron (IVS). How is it removed?
