Question

The U12-dependent “minor” type of these structures is flanked by AU-AC sites instead of the usual GU-AG sites. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these structures that are excised by a ribonucleoprotein complex composed of snRNAs like U2. An alternative form of that process can produce protein isoforms.
ANSWER: introns

ANSWER: prokaryotes [or prokaryotic organisms]
[10h] Introns are represented as arrow-studded thin lines between horizontal bars in these visualization tools. Popular examples of this type of software include IGV, Ensembl, and a namesake one hosted by UCSC.
