Cellular stress and RNA splicing [PDF]
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2009 In response to physical and chemical stresses that affect protein folding and, thus, the execution of normal metabolic processes, cells activate gene-expression strategies aimed at increasing their chance of survival. One target of several stressing agents is pre-mRNA splicing, which is inhibited upon heat shock.

Spliced leader RNA trans-splicing in dinoflagellates [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Through the analysis of hundreds of full-length cDNAs from fifteen species representing all major orders of dinoflagellates, we demonstrate that nuclear-encoded mRNAs in all species, from ancestral to derived lineages, are trans-spliced with the addition of the 22-nt conserved spliced leader (SL), DCCGUAGCCAUUUUGGCUCAAG (D = U, A, or G), to the 5′ end.

ISVASE: identification of sequence variant associated with splicing event using RNA-seq data
BMC Bioinformatics, 2017 Background Exon recognition and splicing precisely and efficiently by spliceosome is the key to generate mature mRNAs. About one third or a half of disease-related mutations affect RNA splicing.

Linking splicing to Pol II transcription stabilizes pre-mRNAs and influences splicing patterns.
PLoS Biology, 2006 RNA processing is carried out in close proximity to the site of transcription, suggesting a regulatory link between transcription and pre-mRNA splicing. Using an in vitro transcription/splicing assay, we demonstrate that an association of RNA polymerase ...

An overview of RNA splicing and functioning of splicing factors in land plant chloroplasts
RNA Biology, 2022 RNA splicing refers to a process by which introns of a pre-mRNA are excised and the exons at both ends are joined together. Chloroplast introns are inherently self-splicing ribozymes, but over time, they have lost self-splicing ability due to the ...

Discover hidden splicing variations by mapping personal transcriptomes to personal genomes. [PDF]
, 2015 RNA-seq has become a popular technology for studying genetic variation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing. Commonly used RNA-seq aligners rely on the consensus splice site dinucleotide motifs to map reads across splice junctions.

RNA-Seq analysis of splicing in Plasmodium falciparum uncovers new splice junctions, alternative splicing and splicing of antisense transcripts. [PDF]
, 2011 Over 50% of genes in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, contain predicted introns, yet experimental characterization of splicing in this organism remains incomplete.
