Trans-Splicing

Known as: Trans Splicing, Trans-Splicings, RNA, RNA Splicing, Trans 
The joining of RNA from two different genes. One type of trans-splicing is the "spliced leader" type (primarily found in protozoans such as…

Most mRNAs in the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides are trans-spliced: a role for spliced leader addition in translational efficiency.
Some pre-mRNAs in nematodes are processed by trans-splicing. In this reaction, a 22-nt 5' terminal exon (the spliced leader, SL…
