Gene therapy progress and prospects: reprograming gene expression by trans-splicing.

Abstract excerpt

The term 'trans-splicing' encompasses several platform technologies that combine two RNA or protein molecules to generate a new, chimeric product. RNA trans-splicing reprograms the sequences of endogenous messenger mRNA or pre-mRNA, converting them to a new, desired gene product. Trans-splicing has broad applications, depending on the nature of the sequences that are inserted or trans-spliced to the defined...
