Trans-splicing

Trans-splicing

"Trans"-splicing is a special form of RNA processing in eukaryotes where exons from two different primary RNA transcripts are joined end to end and ligated.

In contrast "normal" ("cis"-)splicing processes a single molecule. That is, "trans"-splicing results in an RNA transcript that came from multiple RNA polymerases on the genome. This phenomenon can be exploited for molecular therapy to address mutated gene products.
