Direct long-read RNA sequencing identifies a subset of questionable exitrons likely arising from reverse transcription artifacts

Abstract Resistance to CD19-directed immunotherapies in lymphoblastic leukemia has been attributed, among other factors, to several aberrant CD19 pre-mRNA splicing events, including recently reported excision of a cryptic intron embedded within CD19 exon 2. While “exitrons” are known to exist in hun...
