Deciphering the plant splicing code: Experimental and computational approaches for predicting alternative splicing and splicing regulatory elements

Extensive alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) in multicellular eukaryotes increases the protein-coding capacity of a genome and allows novel ways to regulate gene expression. In fowering plants, up to 48% of intron-containing genes exhibit AS. However, the full extent of AS in p...
