Alu exonization events reveal features required for precise recognition of exons by the splicing machinery.

Alu exonization events reveal features required for precise recognition of exons by the splicing machinery.

Despite decades of research, the question of how the mRNA splicing machinery precisely identifies short exonic islands within the vast intronic oceans remains to a large extent obscure. In this study, we analyzed Alu exonization events, aiming to understand the requirements for correct selection of...
