This study shows that #RNAsplicing is widely dysregulated when #FMRP is lost; this involves multiple splicing factors, including MBNL1. In FMRP-depleted cells, Mbnl1 RNA is misspliced, mislocalizing #MBNL1, and in turn messing up further RNAs #PLOSBiology plos.io/3R6E9GN

'Gene duplication and diversification allow hosts to mutate otherwise essential genes, whereas changes in transcriptional regulation can selectively activate genes should their constitutive expression be detrimental. To counter mutational tolerance, it has been suggested that viruses target essential genes as host cofactors, because the genes are less prone to variability'

"Here, we utilized unbiased genetic screens to map drug/gene interactions for a variety of clinically approved therapies used in the treatment of AML. This effort highlighted a unique genetic relationship between response to venetoclax and the function of specific RNA splicing factors."

Pre-mRNA splicing patterns cannot be accurately defined from total RNA data, unless degradation pathways are inactive. An example, using NMD inactivation (wondering to what extent nuclear degradation could be also involved ?):
