SnRNP
SnRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, snurp): RNA-protein particles of U-rich snRNAs plus Sm proteins that form the spliceosome; major set U1, U2, U4, U5, U6 and minor set U11, U12, U4atac, U6atac with shared U5.
snRNP Assembly
snRNP assembly (snRNP biogenesis, snurpogenesis): construction of spliceosomal U1, U2, U4, U5, U6 snRNPs from snRNAs and Sm/LSm proteins, driven by the PRMT5 and SMN complexes; SMN defects cause spinal muscular atrophy.
SNRNP70
SNRNP70 (U1-70K), human gene and 437-aa RNA-binding protein of the U1 snRNP spliceosomal complex; binds U1 snRNA loop I via its RRM, interacts with SRSF1, and is a major autoantigen in mixed connective tissue disease.
SNRPA
SNRPA (U1A, U1-A) is the human gene at 19q13.2 encoding the U1 snRNP A protein, an RRM RNA-binding protein that binds U1 snRNA stem loop II, autoregulates via PAP inhibition, and regulates splicing and polyadenylation.
SNRPN
SNRPN (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N), also called SNURF-SNRPN, is an imprinted human gene at 15q11.2 in the Prader-Willi syndrome critical region, paternally expressed, encoding the SmN splicing protein and SNURF, and the basis of methylation diagnostics for Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes.
SnTe
SnTe, or tin telluride, is a semiconductor of tin and tellurium with the rock-salt structure, first predicted as a topological crystalline insulator and confirmed experimentally in 2012; it is also a lead-free thermoelectric material.
SNU-1
SNU-1 (NCI-SNU-1, CVCL_0099, ATCC CRL-5971) is a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line established in 1984 at Seoul National University from a primary stomach tumor; near-diploid, MSI-positive, suspension-growing, and widely used in cancer pharmacogenomics.
Snubber
A snubber is a network of resistors, capacitors, and sometimes diodes connected across a switch or inductive load to limit voltage spikes, slow voltage rise, and damp ringing.
Snubber circuit
A snubber circuit is a network of resistors, capacitors, and diodes placed across a power semiconductor to limit voltage spikes, ringing, and dV/dt during switching; the most common form is a capacitor with a series resistor.
Snubnosed revolver
The snubnosed revolver, also called a belly gun or snubbie, is a revolver with a short barrel, generally 3 inches or less, made for concealed close-range self-defense.
Snuff (film)
Snuff (1976) is an American exploitation horror film by Michael and Roberta Findlay, originally The Slaughter (1971), whose staged murder coda, added by distributor Allan Shackleton, popularized the snuff film urban legend despite no genuine snuff film ever being located.
Snuff (song)
"Snuff" is Slipknot's 2008 acoustic ballad from All Hope Is Gone, written by Corey Taylor about his divorce, released as a single in 2009, championed by Paul Gray, a top-ten US rock hit, and later a tribute to the late bassist.
Snuff (tobacco)
Snuff, also called nasal or dry snuff, is powdered smokeless tobacco inhaled through the nose or held in the mouth, delivering nicotine without burning the leaf.
Snuff film
Snuff film: a supposed film depicting real murder made for profit, an urban legend circulating since the mid-1970s; term coined by Ed Sanders (1972), popularized by the 1976 hoax film Snuff; no verified example exists.
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley

SNUPPS
SNUPPS (Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System) was a 1970s consortium of United States utilities that built identical nuclear plants from a standardized Westinghouse pressurized water reactor design.
SNURF family
SNURF family: a small protein family built around SNURF (SNRPN upstream reading frame protein, Q9Y675), a 71-aa nuclear protein encoded by the paternally imprinted SNURF-SNRPN bicistronic locus at 15q11.2, distinct from rat RNF4 'Snurf'.
Snus
Snus: Swedish moist smokeless tobacco used under the upper lip, loose or in pouches; pasteurized for low nitrosamines, legal mainly in Sweden and Norway, with FDA-recognized lower risks than cigarettes and a tobacco-free variant, white snus (nicotine pouches).
Snyatyn Raion
Snyatyn Raion (Снятинський район) was a raion in southeastern Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine, centered on the town of Sniatyn on the Prut River; created in 1940 and abolished in 2020.
Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph
Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph is an empirical method published by Franklin F. Snyder in 1938 that constructs a unit hydrograph for ungauged watersheds from measurable basin characteristics.
Snyk
Snyk is a Boston-based developer security company founded in 2015 by Guy Podjarny that finds and fixes vulnerabilities in code, open source dependencies, containers, and infrastructure as code.
