Little is known about the functional significance of this alternative splicing.

The ability to make different proteins from the same gene is known as alternative splicing.

The biological significance of alternative splicing is yet to be determined.

In a first step, we eliminated genes that showed evidence of alternative splicing.

These studies suggest that such alternative splicing could play a role in the disease and lend themselves to further investigation.

Alternative splicing might play a role in this apparent discrepancy.

These two alternatives are both made by alternative splicing.

Since then, alternative splicing has been found to be ubiquitous in eukaryotes.

Any gene can code for multiple proteins as a result of alternative splicing.

Each gene in turn produces multiple proteins through alternative splicing.
