Alternative splicing (AS) is a major contributor to transcriptome and proteome diversity. Evolutionary studies help to address questions that are fundamental to understanding this important process.

Researchers have rallied behind mechanisms such as alternative splicing, which may allow a lowly 30,000-gene genome to produce the dizzying variety of proteins that some believe is necessary to ...

Individual genes express multiple mRNAs by pre-mRNA alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation or use of alternative promoters (first exons). As a result, individual genes express multiple ...

Alternative splicing has a crucial role in the generation of biological complexity, and its misregulation is often involved in human disease. Here we describe the assembly of a ‘splicing code ...

The study investigates the detailed mechanisms of alternative splicing in plant secondary metabolism, focusing on its effects on terpenoids, phenolic compounds, and nitrogen-containing metabolites.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs — single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis — and proteins from ...

A new role for cohesin in regulating alternative splicing has been identified, providing insights into splicing mutations in human disease. Cohesin is known to play a key part in transcription ...

Alternative splicing, a clever way a cell generates many different variations of messenger RNAs - single-stranded RNAs involved in protein synthesis - and proteins from the same stretch of DNA ...
