Cheah was also a recipient of Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Future Scientists Fellowship for his work on RNA splicing, and his contributing research was published in the May 2007 issue of Nature.
In addition, a number of proteins including U2AF and SF1 are required for the assembly of the spliceosome.

During embryonic development only one splice variant is detected while there are two in the adult model.
