An intersectional expression platform for gene complementation using RNA-fragment end joining (REJ)

Gene complementation is a powerful tool for genetic selection and protein functional studies but typically requires extensive screening for complementary components. Here we engineered a platform for gene complementation based on RNA end-joining (REJ) that precisely and efficiently splices separate RNA units into functional coding mRNAs. REJ is mediated by short structured modular RNA segments of…
