Term Name: RNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation
Synonyms: mRNA splicing
Definition: Splicing of RNA via recognition of the folded RNA structure that brings the 5' and 3' splice sites into proximity and cleavage of the RNA at both the 3' and 5' splice sites by an endonucleolytic mechanism, followed by ligation of the exons.
