Transcriptome
-------------
- - Some genes are organised in operons. A 5′ splice leader (SL) is found in some RNAs.
+ - O. dioica is the first chordate where gene operons have been described. A
+ 5′ splice leader (SL) bearing a trimethylated cap is found in some RNAs.
The SL gene is found downstream of the 5S RNA gene, which is repeated multiple
- times in the genome ([[Ganot et al., 2004|biblio/15314184]]).
+ times in the genome. The 3′ acceptor site has a strong UUU(C/U/A)AG consensus
+ ([[Ganot et al., 2004|biblio/15314184]]).
- A study using CAGE found that 39% of annotated gene models are trans-spliced with the
SL and that 42% of SL transcripts are monocistronic ([[Danks et al., 2015|biblio/25525214]]).
- A `TCTAGA` promoter element is found in 73.5% of the non-trans-spliced genes detected with
