Caenorhabditis elegans operons contain a higher proportion of genes with multiple transcripts and use 3' splice sites differentially.
RNA splicing generates multiple transcript isoforms from a single gene and enhances the complexity of eukaryotic gene expression. In some eukaryotes, operon exists as an ancient regulatory mechanism of gene expression that requires strict positional and regulatory relationships among its genes. It r...
