PCT No. PCT/US92/00278 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 14, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 17, 1993 PCT Filed Jan. 16, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/13090 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 8, 1992The design of new ribozymes capable of self-catalyzed trans-splicing which are based upon the catalytic core of a Group I intron are described. Using this design, it is possible to construct ribozymes capable of efficiently splicing a new 3' exon sequence into any chosen target RNA sequence in a highly precise manner. Inactive pro-ribozyme forms are also described.
