Splicing is a modification of an RNA after transcription, in which introns are removed and exons are joined. This is needed for the typical eukaryotic messenger RNA before it can be used to produce a correct protein through translation.

RNA slicing removes introns (non-protein-coding portions) from transcribed RNAs. Exons (protein-coding portions) can also be removed to produce different gene products and thus different protein product. This is alternative splicing.

Splicing is the modification of RNA after it has undergone transcription. It's when the Introns (DNA of a gene that hasn't been translated into a protein) are removed and the exons are joined.
