Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing generates multiple distinct isoforms that increase transcriptome and proteome diversity. There are seven sirtuin genes in humans, each consists of multiple exons that are likely to undergo alternative splicing. Our aim was to characterize the effect of alternative splicing on the sirtuin genes. Here, we report the identification of 23 human sirtuin isoforms, most of which were not previously...
