Abstract excerpt
Despite growing catalogs of genetic variation linked to human traits and diseases, the functional impact of most genetic variants remains poorly understood. Alternative splicing, particularly in the human brain, represents a key layer of post-transcriptional regulation that may mediate genetic effects on gene expression and protein diversity. In this study, we systematically map allele-specific alternative...
