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
)
