One Gene, Many Proteins: Mapping Cell-Specific Alternative Splicing in Plants

Publication date: 21 November 2016
Source:Developmental Cell, Volume 39, Issue 4
Author(s): Ranjan Swarup, Martin Crespi, Malcolm J. Bennett
Pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) generates protein variants from a single gene that can create novel regulatory opportunities. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Li et al. (2016) present a high-resolution expression map of AS events in Arabidopsis root tissues, giving insight into cell-type- and stage-specific AS mechanisms in plants.
