Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing (AS) is a key mechanism for generating regulatory and phenotypic diversity in multicellular eukaryotes. Large-scale comparative transcriptomic studies have revealed that AS leads to lineage-specific and tissue-specific transcriptomic and proteomic changes, underscoring its contribution to the evolution of gene products and functions. In this review, we highlight the patterns and mechanisms of...
