Differential splicing

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003175",
  "term": "Differential splicing",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A molecular process where a single gene can give rise to multiple messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts and, consequently, different protein isoforms. This occurs by selectively including or excluding certain exons during the splicing of pre-mRNA. Differential splicing significantly expands the protein diversity encoded by the genome.",
