Small RNAs such as snaR-A (small NF90-associated RNA isoform A) may contribute to cancer-related phenotypes. Here the authors find that snaR-A interacts with mRNA splicing factors in subnuclear foci and causes splicing defects in mRNA subpopulations, which is associated with increased cell proliferation, and poor outcomes in cancer patients.
