Trans-splicing is a unique process in gene expression where a short sequence, known as a spliced leader (SL), is added to the 5' end of mRNA molecules. This mechanism is particularly significant ...

mRNA splicing is a fundamental part of the process that occurs when encoded DNA instructions are turned into a functional protein. After a gene is transcribed from DNA to RNA, extraneous sections ...

When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are inaccurately edited through a process called splicing. The study, led by Goethe University Frankfurt ...
