📝 Abstract

RNA processing is a critical component of gene expression regulation, where precursor mRNA is transformed into mature mRNA through splicing. Despite its importance, the mechanistic aspects of RNA splicing remain incompletely understood across different species. This study aims to elucidate the diverse pathways of RNA splicing through comparative analysis across various model organisms. Using high-throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatic tools, we analyzed exon-intron structures and splicing events in a wide range of species, from simple eukaryotes to higher vertebrates. Our findings reveal conserved motifs and species-specific adaptations in the splicing machinery, providing insights into the evolutionary pressures shaping splicing mechanisms. Furthermore, we identified novel splicing factors that potentially regulate alternative splicing events, with implications for understanding disease-related aberrant splicing. This comprehensive analysis enhances our knowledge of RNA processing and opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions targeting splicing-related disorders. In conclusion, the study advances our understanding of RNA splicing dynamics and highlights the evolutionary adaptability of splicing pathways across species.
