HIV- 1: To Splice Or Not To Splice, That Is THE Question [PDF]
HIV-1 transcribes only one kind of transcript – the full length genomic RNA. To make the mRNA transcripts for the accessory proteins Tat and Rev, the genomic RNA must completely splice. The mRNA transcripts for Vif, Vpr, and Env must splice but not completely.

Spliced leader trans-splicing [PDF]
What is spliced leader (SL) trans-splicing? It is an mRNA maturation process, similar to intron splicing, which has been shown to occur in a limited number of eukaryotes. In SL trans-splicing, the cell replaces nucleotides at the 5′ end of some pre-mRNAs with those of a special class of small nuclear RNAs, called SL RNAs. These are short molecules with

To Splice or Not to Splice, That Is the Treatment [PDF]
In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Shibata et al. (2020) rescue expression of CFTR from a defective gene by inhibiting splicing factors required for the inclusion of a pathogenic pseudo exon. Their work highlights the untapped potential of RNA splicing as a therapeutic target.

The Signature of a Splice [PDF]
We study the behavior of the signature of colored links [Flo05, CF08] under the splice operation. We extend the construction to colored links in integral homology spheres and show that the signature is almost additive, with a correction term independent of the links. We interpret this correction term as the signature of a generalized Hopf link and give

Maturation of mRNA termini occurs during transcription and can be aided by pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). In this issue of Molecular Cell, two groups now demonstrate that RNAPII pausing may also assist cotranscriptional splicing in S. cerevisiae.

Ubiquitous eukaryotic non-coding circular RNAs are involved in numerous co- and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. Recently, we reported full-length intronic circular RNAs (flicRNAs) in Entamoeba histolytica, with 3′ss–5′ss ligation points and 5′

The Diverse Genomic Landscape of Diamond–Blackfan Anemia: Two Novel Variants and a Mini-Review
Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a ribosomopathy characterized by bone marrow erythroid hypoplasia, which typically presents with severe anemia within the first months of life. DBA is typically attributed to a heterozygous mutation in a ribosomal protein

RNA sequencing is a promising technique for detecting normal and aberrant RNA isoforms. Here, we present a new single-gene, straightforward 1-day hands-on protocol for detection of splicing alterations with deep RNA sequencing from blood.

We introduce and study a natural variant of matroid amalgams. For matroids M(A) and N(B) such that M/(A-B)=N(B-A), we define a splice of M and N to be a matroid L on the union of A and B with L(B-A)=M and L/(A-B)=N. We show that splices exist for each such pair of matroids M and N; furthermore, there is a freest splice of M and N, which we call the ...
