Alternative splicing is common in mammals - most genes can produce multiple different mature mRNAs from the same gene. Bacterial sequences do not have introns. The spliceosome, which consists of protein and RNA molecules, uses complementarity to recognize splicing sequence signatures in the mRNA. Although intron sequence is removed from transcripts during splicing, the overall order of the sequence stays the same - this means that the protein sequence can be predicted from the gene sequence (if the location of introns is known) - i.e., the order of amino acids in a protein reflects the order of nucleotides in DNA.
