Definition
English
:
A process whereby multiple
RNA
transcripts are generated from a single gene.
Alternative splicing
involves the splicing together of other possible sets of
EXONS
during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative
exons
to form a mature
RNA
. The alternative
forms
of mature MESSENGER
RNA
produce
PROTEIN ISOFORMS
in which one part of the isoforms is common while the other parts are different.
Indexing Annotation
English
:
for NESTED TRANSCRIPTS also index the
RNA
; do not confuse with
NESTED GENES
; for nested primers use NESTED PCR; (
POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
)
