For protein synthesis in the cell, the relevant DNA sequences coding for that specific
protein are copied from the DNA. However, these sequences may sometimes lie in sev-
eral distinct segments along the DNA, and unwanted intervening parts may also be
copied. The region shown in red above is a DNA region of such unwanted data. In order
for the correct protein to be manufactured, it needs to be removed from the sequence.
At this point enzymes known as "spliceosomes" become involved and start bend-
ing the chain being copied in such a way that the intervening sequences are
looped out.
By the end of this process, the looped out region has been excised. The coding data
are added on to one another, and taken to the cell factory for manufacture.
