title: Please hold--the next available exon will be right with you.
abstract: A major challenge in gene expression is to understand how precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) processing events are integrated with transcription. A recent study suggests that distant exons in nascent RNA are held together during transcription, promoting accurate splicing independent of intron fate.
