Abstract excerpt
For most of the 25,000 human genes, the removal of introns by pre-messenger RNA splicing represents an essential step towards the production of functional messenger RNAs. Moreover, a majority of pre-messenger RNAs is alternatively spliced to yield different messenger RNAs. Cancer cells often display aberrant profiles of alternative splicing producing isoforms that can stimulate cell proliferation and migration or...
