Figure 1. Cartoon highlighting the integration of splicing with other RNA‐processing steps in the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The figure shows the active transcription of a gene, leading to the production of several nascent RNA. Possible points of integration between splicing and other RNA‐processingsteps have been shown (dotted lines): during transcription and post‐transcriptionally, during nucleocytoplasmic export, and in the cytoplasm.
