Trans-splicing is a special form of RNA processing in eukaryotes where exons from two different primary RNA transcripts are joined end to end and ligated.
In contrast "normal" (cis-)splicing processes a single molecule. That is, trans-splicing results in a RNA transcript that came from multiple RNA polymerases on the genome.
