Alternative splicing is required for stage differentiation in malaria parasites
Genome Biology, 2019 Background In multicellular organisms, alternative splicing is central to tissue differentiation and identity. Unicellular protists lack multicellular tissue but differentiate into variable cell types during their life cycles.

Alternative splicing and disease
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2009 Almost all protein-coding genes are spliced and their majority is alternatively spliced. Alternative splicing is a key element in eukaryotic gene expression that increases the coding capacity of the human genome and an increasing number of examples illustrates that the selection of wrong splice sites causes human disease.

Alternative promoters influence alternative splicing at the genomic level. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: More and more experiments have shown that transcription and mRNA processing are not two independent events but are tightly coupled to each other. Both promoter and transcription rate were found to influence alternative splicing.

Pharmacology of Modulators of Alternative Splicing [PDF]
Pharmacological Reviews, 2017 More than 95% of genes in the human genome are alternatively spliced to form multiple transcripts, often encoding proteins with differing or opposing function. The control of alternative splicing is now being elucidated, and with this comes the opportunity to develop modulators of alternative splicing that can control cellular function.

Specific CLK inhibitors from a novel chemotype for regulation of alternative splicing. [PDF]
, 2011 There is a growing recognition of the importance of protein kinases in the control of alternative splicing. To define the underlying regulatory mechanisms, highly selective inhibitors are needed.

Alternative Splicing in Neurogenesis and Brain Development
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018 Alternative splicing of precursor mRNA is an important mechanism that increases transcriptomic and proteomic diversity and also post-transcriptionally regulates mRNA levels.

The implications of alternative pre-mRNA splicing in cell signal transduction
Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2023 Cells produce multiple mRNAs through alternative splicing, which ensures proteome diversity. Because most human genes undergo alternative splicing, key components of signal transduction pathways are no exception.

The Perils of Navigating Activity-Dependent Alternative Splicing of Neurexins
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Neurexins are presynaptic cell-adhesion molecules essential for synaptic function that are expressed in thousands of alternatively spliced isoforms. Recent studies suggested that alternative splicing at splice site 4 (SS4) of Nrxn1 is tightly regulated ...

Complex Alternative Splicing [PDF]
, 2007 Alternative splicing is a powerful means of controlling gene expression and increasing protein diversity. Most genes express a limited number of mRNA isoforms, but there are several examples of genes that use alternative splicing to generate hundreds, thousands and even tens of thousands of isoforms.

Quantification of pre-mRNA escape rate and synergy in splicing [PDF]
, 2014 Splicing reactions generally combine high speed with accuracy. However, some of the pre-mRNAs escape the nucleus with a retained intron. Intron retention can control gene expression and increase proteome diversity.
