Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing is a fundamental mechanism to modulate gene expression programs in response to different growth and environmental stimuli. There is now ample evidence that alternative splicing errors, caused by mutations in cis-acting elements and defects and/or imbalances in trans-acting factors, may be causatively associated to cancer progression. Recent work indicates the existence of an intricate network...
