The role of alternative splicing in adaptation and evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Regulation of gene expression plays a central role in adaptive divergence and evolution. Although the role of gene regulation in microevolutionary processes is gaining wide acceptance, most studies have only investigated the evolution of transcript levels, ignoring the potentially significant role of transcript structures. We argue that variation in alternative splicing plays an important and widely unexplored...
