Abstract excerpt
Splicing requires the accurate recognition of exonic sequences from the surrounding thousands of nucleotides of intronic sequence and is achieved by the coordinate interplay of splicing regulatory elements in genes and the trans-acting RNA and protein molecules to which they bind. Infidelity in this process can have dramatic consequences for protein production, with an errors resulting in mRNA instability or the...
