Trans-splicing example #4

Closed cmungall closed 11 years ago

cmungall commented 11 years ago

"In a process called transplicing exons of one gene can be found on multiple chromosomes"

This is a sufficient but not a necessary condition. Trans-spliced genes can have exons from the same chromosome - either from a distant site (as is common in C elegans), or from the same region

My favorite is mod(mdg4):

Mongelard F, Labrador M, Baxter EM, Gerasimova TI, Corces VG: Trans-splicing as a novel mechanism to explain interallelic complementation in Drosophila. Genetics 2002, 160:1481-1487

You can get the GFF3 from FlyBase:

(but it may need "re-stitching, as the translation to GFF3 may lose some information)
