Scientists have discovered how to splice pieces of DNA.
It undergoes complex alternative splicing in different elastic tissues.
We hypothesize that natural quantitative variation in the gene transcript level is partially explained by the transcript level variation of upstream splicing factors.
No differences in splicing were observed among these mice (data not shown).
Occasional imprecise splicing can generate new proteins assembled from parts of old ones without sacrificing the original genes.
Expression levels of splicing factors appear to have a strong influence on the natural variation in abundance of corresponding alternatively spliced transcripts.
Four structurally distinct neuron-specific olfactomedin-related glycoproteins produced by differential promoter utilization and alternative splicing from a single gene.
The two hybrid proteins are then mixed and splicing occurs to release the segmentally labeled target protein.
These hypothetical genes are predicted based on coding potential, base composition and splicing predictions.
