Splice site strength-dependent activity and genetic buffering by poly-G runs

Pre-mRNA splicing is regulated through the combinatorial activity of RNA motifs, including splice sites and splicing regulatory elements. Here we show that the activity of the G-run (polyguanine sequence) class of splicing enhancer elements is approx4-fold higher when adjacent to intermediate streng...
