Abstract:
A significant fraction of the variability found in the human transcriptome is due to alternative splicing, including alternative exon usage (AEU), intron retention and use of cryptic splice sites. We present a comparison of a large-scale analysis of AEU in the human transcriptome through genome mapping of Open Reading Frame ESTs (ORESTES) and conventional ESTs. It is shown here that ORESTES probe low abundant messages more efficiently. In addition, most of the variants detected by ORESTES affect the structure of the corresponding proteins.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
