title: Small nuclear RNAs and pre-mRNA splicing.
abstract: Genetic and biochemical studies have recently shown that the splice sites in nuclear pre-mRNAs are aligned for the transesterification reactions through a collaboration between U5 and U6 small nuclear RNAs, which form the heart of a network of RNA-based interactions in the active spliceosome.
