Exon Inclusion Is Dependent on Predictable Exonic Splicing Enhancers [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2005 We have previously formulated a list of approximately 2,000 RNA octamers as putative exonic splicing enhancers (PESEs) based on a statistical comparison of human exonic and nonexonic sequences (X. H. Zhang and L. A. Chasin, Genes Dev. 18:1241-1250, 2004).

In Vivo Recognition of a Vertebrate Mini-Exon as an Exon-Intron-Exon Unit
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1993 Very small vertebrate exons are problematic for RNA splicing because of the proximity of their 3' and 5' splice sites. In this study, we investigated the recognition of a constitutive 7-nucleotide mini-exon from the troponin I gene that resides quite close to the adjacent upstream exon.

POEM, A 3-dimensional exon taxonomy and patterns in untranslated exons [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2008 Abstract Background The existence of exons and introns has been known for thirty years. Despite this knowledge, there is a lack of formal research into the categorization of exons. Exon taxonomies used by researchers tend to be selected ad hoc or based on an information poor de-facto standard. Exons have been shown to

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 The production of different transcripts (transcript heterogeneity) is a feature of many genes that may result in phenotypic variation. Several mechanisms, that occur at both the DNA and RNA level have been shown to contribute to this transcript heterogeneity in mammals, all of which involve either the rearrangement of sequences within a genome or the ...

De novo prediction of PTBP1 binding and splicing targets reveals unexpected features of its RNA recognition and function. [PDF]
, 2014 The splicing regulator Polypyrimidine Tract Binding Protein (PTBP1) has four RNA binding domains that each binds a short pyrimidine element, allowing recognition of diverse pyrimidine-rich sequences.

Comparative analysis of transposed element insertion within human and mouse genomes reveals Alu's unique role in shaping the human transcriptome [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Transposed elements (TEs) have a substantial impact on mammalian evolution and are involved in numerous genetic diseases. We compared the impact of TEs on the human transcriptome and the mouse transcriptome.

Cell, 1991 Using a sensitive assay for RNA expression, we identified several abnormally spliced transcripts in which exons from a candidate tumor suppressor gene (DCC) were scrambled during the splicing process in vivo. Cloning and sequencing of PCR-amplified segments of the abnormally spliced transcripts showed that exons were joined accurately at consensus ...

Detecting differential usage of exons from RNA-Seq data [PDF]
, 2012 RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for the study of alternative splicing and other forms of alternative isoform expression. Understanding the regulation of these processes requires comparisons between treatments, tissues or conditions.

αCP binding to a cytosine-rich subset of polypyrimidine tracts drives a novel pathway of cassette exon splicing in the mammalian transcriptome. [PDF]
, 2016 Alternative splicing (AS) is a robust generator of mammalian transcriptome complexity. Splice site specification is controlled by interactions of cis-acting determinants on a transcript with specific RNA binding proteins.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2012 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, progressive muscle-wasting disorder, while Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is milder muscle disease [1]. Both are caused by mutations in dystrophin, a protein, which stabilizes muscle fibers during contraction by linking muscle actin to the extracellular matrix.
