  "summary": "Over 99% of the introns in humans are removed by the major spliceosome with the U6 snRNA as the catalytic component while the rest 1% by the minor spliceosome containing U6atac. Recent evidence supports mechanistic interactions between the two splicing pathways even though they have been considered as operating in parallel. Here we report a unique genetic condition in which both splicing pathways…",
