U12 minor spliceosomal RNA is formed from U12 small nuclear (

U2, the two are functionally analogous.[1]

Structure

The predicted

secondary structure of U12 RNA is published,[2]. However, the alternative single hairpin in the 3' end shown here seems to better match the alignment of divergent Drosophila melanogaster and Arabidopsis thaliana sequences.[3] The sequences U12 introns that are spliced out are collected in a biological database called the U12 intron database
.
