Generalment s'ha pensat que la regulació de l'splicing alternatiu està controlada principalment per la interacció entre els factors reguladors de l'splicing i la taxa d'elongació de la ARN polimerasa ...
Kremsky, Isaac Jacob (Date of defense: 2015-07-14)
Proteins that bind to DNA or RNA are both known to influence alternative splicing. However, there has not been so far a systematic experimental exploration of the relationship between these factors ...
