The noble gases are left out of the trends in atomic radii because there is great debate over the experimental values of their atomic radii.
The SI units for measuring atomic radii are the nanometer (nm) and the picometer (pm). 1 nm = 1 X 109 m; 1 pm = 1 X 10-12 m.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
Binding of SR proteins to ESEs promotes or stabilizes U1 binding to the 5’ splice site and U2AF binding to the 3’ splice site.

The Nova and Fox families of RNA-binding proteins can promote or suppress splice site selection in a context-dependent fashion.

Trans-splicing is rare in multicellular eukaryotes, it occurs as the primary mechanism to process precursor RNA into mature, translatable mRNAs in some organisms, such as trypanosomes and nematodes.

The SL RNA provides an exon that is connected to the first exon of an mRNA by trans-splicing. The reaction involves the same interactions as nuclear cis splicing but generates a Y-shaped RNA instead of a lariat.

In C. elegans, about 70% of genes are processed by the trans-splicing mechanism

The introns in pre-tRNA vary in length from 14 to 60 bases and only single intron is found in each pre-tRNA transcript
