• Spliceome - a freshly invented term, as far a I can tell. (44 google hits, of which most are misspellings of spliceosome or about a database named SpliceOme) Stewart Adcock 22:34, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • I have heard it used in the bioinformatics literature. I suggest that spliceome redirect to spliceosome, and incorporate that material into a new section in spliceosome. --Lexor|Talk 23:41, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

• • • My guess is, that spliceOme (like genOme/transcriptOme/proteOme...) is a collection of all splicing variants of all pre-mRNAs & mRNAs, and maybe even some other RNAs which are modified by the splicing reactions (like tRNA editing?). Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 11:13, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

LSm

The article lacks everything included in the LSm article. Who dares the courageous merge? --Ayacop (talk) 18:43, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Type II introns

I have removed the following:

In 2008 new evidence derived from the first crystal structure of a group II intron suggested that the spliceosome is actually a ribozyme, and that it uses a two–metal ion mechanism for catalysis.

• The intron in question is self-splicing, and may not comprise the spliceosome in its entirety.
• Its not clear if the reverse transcriptase ORF is considered part of the ribozyme or not. (The ORF was replaced for the crystallisation, so is not discussed in the paper.)
• The importance of this paragraph is in the evolutionary development of the spliceosome, so should be part of a progression in that context.
