Evolution of pre-mRNA spliced-leader (SL) trans- splicing in the deuterostomes and its role in monocistronic gene expression

Spliced-leader (SL) trans-splicing is a splicesomal process by which the 5'-ends of diverse mRNAs are replaced by a common sequence originating from a specialized SL donor RNA. The patchy phylogenetic distribution of SL trans-splicing, including its recent discovery in the deuterostomes in the...
