Abstract
Identification of 5' splice sites requires that limited and dispersed sequence information be interpreted precisely. Both snRNAs and protein s are required for this process. The selection of 5' splice sites in a lternative splicing is closely related to that in constitutive splicin g, and uses the same components in somewhat different ways.
