Abstract excerpt
The role of many splicing factors in pre-mRNA splicing and the involvement of these factors in the processing of specific transcripts have often been defined through the analysis of loss-of-function mutants in vivo. Here we show that inactivating the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) results in an enhancement of splicing phenotypes associated with several S. cerevisiae splicing factor mutations. Tiling...
