| Abstract: | Background Alternative splicing of mutually exclusive exons is an important mechanism for increasing protein diversity in eukaryotes.
The insect Mhc (myosin heavy chain) gene produces all different muscle myosins as a result of alternative splicing in contrast to most other
organisms of the Metazoa lineage, that have a family of muscle genes with each gene coding for a protein specialized for a
functional niche. |
