 Context examples 

This protein is involved in the synthesis of small nuclear RNA.

(Integrator Complex Subunit 6, NCI Thesaurus)

This gene may play a role in both transcriptional regulation and nuclear RNA processing.

(NONO Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

(BRF2 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

This allele, which encodes integrator complex subunit 6 protein, may play a role in the regulation of both small nuclear RNA transcription and RNA polymerase II activity.

(INTS6 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
