I want to know how and how often does cootranscription takes place? Can transcription regulators influence splicing during cotranscription?

$\begingroup$ Can you give some background to why you are asking? Is this a study question or based on your own research? $\endgroup$– fileunderwaterNov 14, 2013 at 11:02

Co-transcriptional splicing (CTS) is very widespread. Different studies (which are done on different cell types) report different frequencies of CTS. Most of them report a frequency of ~0.8 in different cells except for mouse liver which was reported to have a frequency of 0.45 This is the article that summarizes these different studies.

Yes.. including factors such as nucleosome positions.. this post may be helpful.
