The joining together of two independently transcribed RNAs, where the one that provides the 5\' portion of the final mRNA is from a splice leader RNA (SL-RNA). The SL-RNA, or mini-exon donor sequence, is added to the 5\'-end of the acceptor RNA molecule which provides the mRNA body. [GOC:krc, ISBN:0879695897, PMID:2675423]
