==== Trans-splicing ====
[[Trans-splicing]] is a form of splicing that removes introns or [[outron]]s, and joins two exons that are not within the same RNA transcript.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Di Segni G, Gastaldi S, Tocchini-Valentini GP | title = Cis- and trans-splicing of mRNAs mediated by tRNA sequences in eukaryotic cells | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 105 | issue = 19 | pages = 6864–6869 | date = May 2008 | pmid = 18458335 | pmc = 2383978 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.0800420105 | doi-access = free | bibcode = 2008PNAS..105.6864D | jstor = 25461891 }}</ref> [[Trans-splicing]] can occur between two different endogenous [[pre-mRNA]]s or between an endogenous and an exogenous (such as from viruses) or artificial RNAs.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Eul J, Patzel V | title = Homologous SV40 RNA trans-splicing: a new mechanism for diversification of viral sequences and phenotypes | journal = RNA Biology | volume = 10 | issue = 11 | pages = 1689–1699 | date = November 2013 | pmid = 24178438 | pmc = 3907479 | doi = 10.4161/rna.26707 }}</ref>
