Introns are non-coding sequences of DNA found between coding sections known as exons in eukaryotic genes and in rare cases in some prokaryotic cells [1].
Introns are removed by splicing by the spliceosome and other associated proteins that are recruited in the process of forming mature mRNA from pre-mRNA [2].
