The gap between the two ends has now to be closed by splicing on new cable and paying out until the buoyed end is reached, which is then hove up and brought on board.
Some defects are similar to those seen in OI but others have been point mutations causing aberrant splicing of one or more exons.
This SNP is located in a splicing region, just before the last exon, and might originate a splicing variant with functional consequences.
Introns contain conserved splicing signals which ensure fidelity of splicing.
Also included are expression data relating to the efficiency of splicing relative to other processes in strains of yeast lacking nonessential splicing factors.
