Please hold—the next available exon will be right with you

Karla M Neugebauer

The author is at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Pfotenhauerstrasse 108, 01307 Dresden, Germany. neugebau@mpi-cbg.de

A major challenge in gene expression is to understand how precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) processing events are integrated with transcription. A recent study suggests that distant exons in nascent RNA are held together during transcription, promoting accurate splicing independent of intron fate.
