The "alternative" choice of constitutive exons throughout evolution. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 Alternative cassette exons are known to originate from two processes-exonization of intronic sequences and exon shuffling. Herein, we suggest an additional mechanism by which constitutively spliced exons become alternative cassette exons during evolution.

Systematic revelation and meditation on the significance of long exons using representative eukaryotic genomes [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Long exons/introns are not evenly distributed in the genome, but the biological significance of this phenomenon remains elusive. Materials and methods Exon properties were analyzed in seven well-annotated reference genomes, including human and

Reversing T Cell Exhaustion by Converting Membrane PD-1 to Its Soluble form in Jurkat Cells; Applying The CRISPR/Cas9 Exon Skipping Strategy [PDF]
Cell Journal, 2023 Objective: T-cells express two functional forms of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1): membrane (mPD-1) andsoluble (sPD-1). The binding of mPD-1 and its ligand (PD-L1) on tumor cells could lead activated lymphocytes towardexhaustion.

Duchenne's/Becker's muscular dystrophy: Analysis of genotype-feno-type correlation in 28 patients [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2002 Duchenne's and Becker's muscular dystrophy (DMD & BMD) is a X linked disease caused by mutations in the dystrophic gene. DMD is the malign form of the disease, which significantly shortens the lifetime of the patient, while BMD has late onset with ...
