Is intron removal by recursive splicing necessitated by the evolution of genomic gigantism?
2024-12-16
Abstract excerpt
Splicing of introns is an important step that pre-mRNA transcripts undergo during processing in the nucleus to become mature mRNAs. Although long thought to occur in a single step, introns are now also known to be removed in multiple steps through a process called recursive splicing. This non-canonical form of splicing is hypothesized to increase splicing fidelity, particularly in longer introns. In species that h...
