A 25-year-old female comes to the clinic complaining of fatigue and palpitations. She has been undergoing immense stress from her thesis defense and has been extremely tired. The patient denies any weight loss, diarrhea, cold/heat intolerance. TSH was within normal limits. She reports a family history of "blood disease" and was later confirmed positive for B-thalassemia minor. It is believed that abnormal splicing of the beta globin gene results in B-thalassemia. What is removed during this process that allows RNA to be significantly shorter than DNA?
