Abstract excerpt
Pre-mRNA splicing is an obligatory step required to assemble the vast majority of mRNAs in eukaryotes. In humans, each gene gives rise to at least two transcripts, with an average 6-8 spliced transcripts per gene. Pre-mRNA splicing is not unequivocal. Variations may occur, such that splicing can become alternative, thereby participating in increasing protein variability and restricting the gap that exists between...
