Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing of vertebrate beta-tropomyosin transcripts ensures mutually exclusive expression of internal exons 6A and 6B in nonmuscle and skeletal muscle cells, respectively. Recently, we reported that this splicing regulation requires species-specific elements, since the splicing profil...
