Abstract excerpt
Every kinetoplastid mRNA receives a common, conserved leader sequence via the process of trans-splicing. In Leishmania tarentolae the precursor spliced leader RNA is 96 nucleotides, with a 39-nucleotide exon that is 7meG-capped and methylated on the first 4 nucleotides. trans-Splicing was inferred from the presence of tagged leader in the high molecular weight RNA population and confirmed for accuracy by cDNA...
