Alternative Splicing 

You are very welcome!

Yeah

Yea

Thank you very much mam

You're welcome 😊

Thank you very much!

You are very welcome 🤗

Hi there! It can be a good thing because it can result in more than one functional protein. Via alternative splicing, it is possible to make different proteins that are similar enough that they carry out related functions that are just a little different from each other. For example, the Drosophila Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) gene has 95 exons. Drosophila can make 38,016 different isoforms by the alternative splicing of these exons. These different isoforms will all have slightly different activity in the cell. That is a lot of variety! You can see some more examples here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_splicing#Examples

Thank you!

My best friend’s husband is from Peru. Greetings back to you. :)

@@BiologyProfessor nice!! tell him "que chevere" :D

Yes, multiple RNA transcripts can be made from a gene and exist simultaneously in the cell, with some being spliced one way and others being spliced a different way.

introns are spliced out, and sometimes part or all of certain exons that would be left in the mRNA in alternative forms.

Thanks! 😀

Yes! It doesn’t alter genes directly, but Alter’d their expression, which creates differences that can be acted on by natural selection. More here: news.mit.edu/2012/rna-splicing-species-difference-1220

Alternative splicing allows eukaryotic cells (including human cells) to use the same GENE to get more than one PROTEIN, just based on which exons are kept in the mature mRNA transcript and why are spliced out. In other words, there can be multiple similar/related proteins possible from one gene.

Thank you! 😄

I’m sorry, I don’t know much about Linux. I used Unix for a semester in college, but I’ve forgotten it all. :(

Differential RNA Processing is another name for Alternative Splicing.

Yes, it is one form of regulation of gene expression

Sorry but can you tell me the reason

I got it the number from here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18978789-deep-surveying-of-alternative-splicing-complexity-in-the-human-transcriptome-by-high-throughput-sequencing/ It is from 2008, so could be out of date; but I think it is still definitely higher than 59%

No, I have a husband.

Biology Professor for how long 🧐?

Quite awhile. We’ve been together over 10 years

@@BiologyProfessor but I want you 🥺
