Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate internal exons are usually between 50 and 400 nt long; exons outside this size range may require additional exonic and/or intronic sequences to be spliced into the mature mRNA. The mouse polymeric immunoglobulin receptor gene has a 654 nt exon that is efficiently spliced into the mRNA. We have examined this exon to identify features that contribute to its efficient splicing despite its large size; a...
