Rodent-specific alternative exons are more frequent in rapidly evolving genes and in paralogs
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for generating functional and evolutionary diversity of proteins in eukaryotes. Here, we studied the frequency and functionality of recently gained, rodent-specific alternative exons.<...
