| ribonucleoproteins, small, u4-u6 | A nuclear RNA-protein complex that plays a role in RNA processing. In the nucleoplasm, the u4-u6 snrnp along with the u5 snrnp preassemble into a single 25s particle that binds to the u1 and u2 snrnps and the substrate to form mature spliceosomes. There is also evidence for the existence of individual u4 or u6 snrnps in addition to their organization as a u4-u6 snrnp. (12 Dec 1998) |

| RNA, small nuclear | Short chains of RNA found in the nucleus. Their function is to remove the introns (nontranslated intervening sequences) from mRNA precursors, thereby bringing the two exons (coding segments) together into correct juxtaposition for enzymatic splicing at the correct point. The resulting mRNA is now ready to leave the nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |

| small-area analysis | A method of analyzing the variation in utilization of health care in small geographic or demographic areas. It often studies, for example, the usage rates for a given service or procedure in several small areas, documenting the variation among the areas. By comparing high- and low-use areas, the analysis attempts to determine whether there is a pattern to such use and to identify variables that are associated with and contribute to the variation.
