Abstract excerpt
Trans-splicing ribozymes are RNA-based catalysts capable of splicing RNA sequences from one transcript specifically into a separate target transcript. In doing so, a chimeric mRNA can be produced, and new gene activities triggered in living cells dependent on the presence of the target mRNA. Based on this ability of trans-splicing ribozymes to deliver new gene activities, a simple and versatile plating assay was...
