Targeted Exon Skipping to Correct Exon Duplications in the Dystrophin Gene
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014 Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that ablate functional protein expression. Although exonic deletions are the most common Duchenne muscular dystrophy lesion, duplications account ...

Exons, introns and DNA thermodynamics [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2005 The genes of eukaryotes are characterized by protein coding fragments, the exons, interrupted by introns, i.e. stretches of DNA which do not carry any useful information for the protein synthesis.

ExonSurfer: a web-tool to design primers at exon–exon junctions
BMC GenomicsBackground Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) with intercalating dyes is one of the main techniques to assess gene expression levels used in basic and applied research as well as in diagnostics.

JuncDB: an exon–exon junction database [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2015 Intron positions upon the mRNA transcript are sometimes remarkably conserved even across distantly related eukaryotic species. This has made the comparison of intron-exon architectures across orthologous transcripts a very useful tool for studying various evolutionary processes.

Molecular Cell, 2010 Pathways of intron/exon specification that drive spliceosome assembly remain unclear. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Schneider et al. (2010) extensively characterize complexes formed on exons, demonstrating unexpected components and providing insights into the switch from cross-exon to cross-intron interactions.

Nucleic Acids Research, 2023 Abstract It is now widely accepted that aberrant splicing of constitutive exons is often caused by mutations affecting cis-acting splicing regulatory elements (SREs), but there is a misconception that all exons have an equal dependency on SREs and thus a similar vulnerability to aberrant splicing.

Detection of internal exon deletion with exon Del [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2014 Exome sequencing allows researchers to study the human genome in unprecedented detail. Among the many types of variants detectable through exome sequencing, one of the most over looked types of mutation is internal deletion of exons. Internal exon deletions are the absence of consecutive exons in a gene.

EXFI: Exon and splice graph prediction without a reference genome
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 For population genetic studies in nonmodel organisms, it is important to use every single source of genomic information. This paper presents EXFI, a Python pipeline that predicts the splice graph and exon sequences using an assembled transcriptome and ...

Comparative Analysis and Classification of Cassette Exons and Constitutive Exons [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2017 Alternative splicing (AS) is a major engine that drives proteome diversity in mammalian genomes and is a widespread cause of human hereditary diseases. More than 95% of genes in the human genome are alternatively spliced, and the most common type of AS is the cassette exon.
