In early embryogenesis, mutations in Zrsr1 and Zrsr2 disrupt the recognition and removal of both U2- and U12-type introns, resulting in profound intron retention, dysregulation of gene expression during zygotic genome activation, and a failure to transition from the 2‐cell to further embryonic stages. This study demonstrates that efficient splicing is vital for the conversion of induced pluripotent stem cells into a 2C-like state."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn the context of hematopoietic development and disease, targeted deletion or mutation of ZRSR2 in mice leads to mis‐splicing of U12-type introns in myeloid progenitors.
