Intronic CpG content and alternative splicing in human genes containing a single cassette exon |
| |
Abstract: | Clinical data provide evidence for the association of missplicing with methyl-binding protein mutations and inhibition of methylation. In this study, we analyzed a 373 human gene database containing a single alternatively spliced exon (cassette) and 1,039 constitutive introns, and showed that CpG frequencies are higher in alternative compared to constitutive introns, particularly in donors preceding cassette exons (p |
