For nuclear-encoded genes, RNA splicing occurs in the nucleus either during or immediately after transcription.

For those eukaryotic genes that contain introns, splicing is usually needed to create an mRNA molecule that can be translated into protein.

For many eukaryotic introns, RNA splicing occurs in a series of reactions which are catalyzed by the spliceosome, a complex of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins .

Several methods of RNA splicing occur in nature; the type of splicing depends on the structure of the spliced intron and the catalysts required for splicing to occur.

In most cases, splicing removes introns as single units from precursor mRNA transcripts.

However, in some cases, especially in mRNAs with very long introns, splicing happens in steps, with part of an intron removed and then the remaining intron is spliced out in a following step.

Process of RNA splicing is linked with HIV integration, as HIV-1 targets highly spliced genes.
