Splicing regulatory element (SRE) are trans-acting sequences in pre-mRNA, which either enhance or silence (suppress) the splicing of introns, or in general regulates the constitutive or alternative splicing.[1]

SREs are:

present in exons: exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs), exonic splicing silencers (ESSs)
present in introns: intronic splicing enhancers (ISEs), intronic splicing silencers (ISSs).
