Abstract excerpt
Accurate and efficient splicing of eukaryotic pre-mRNAs requires recognition by trans-acting factors of a complex array of cis-acting RNA elements. Here, we developed a generalized Bayesian network to model the coevolution of splicing cis elements in diverse eukaryotic taxa. Cross-exon but not cross-intron compensatory interactions between the 5' splice site (5'ss) and 3' splice site (3'ss) were observed in...
