Abstract excerpt
Pre-mRNA splicing factors recognize consensus signals within preliminary transcripts, and as cogs of the spliceosome machine, orchestrate the excision and rejoining of pre-mRNA regions for gene expression. Large-scale sequencing has demonstrated that mutations in key genes encoding pre-mRNA splicing factors are common among myeloid neoplasms and also occur in a variety of other cancers. This revelation offers new...
