Abstract excerpt
There has been growing evidence for extensive diversity of alternative splicing in human populations. Genetic variants within the 5' splice site can cause splicing differences among human individuals and constitute an important class of human disease mutations. In this study, we explored whether natural variations of splicing could reveal important signals of 5' splice site recognition. In seven lymphoblastoid...
