Homologous SV40 RNA trans-splicing: Special case or prime example of viral RNA trans-splicing?

To date the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) is the only proven example of a virus that recruits the mechanism of RNA trans-splicing to diversify its sequences and gene products. Thereby, two identical viral transcripts are efficiently joined by homologous trans-splicing triggering the formation of a highly t...
