Pseudoexons are nonfunctional intronic sequences that can be activated by deep-intronic sequence variation. Activation increases pseudoexon inclusion in mRNA and interferes with normal gene expression. The c.

This can affect processes such as splicing, nuclear shuttling, and stability of the transcript. Therefore, correct modeling of protein-RNA binding is critical when predicting the effects of sequence variations.
