Alternative splicing significantly impacts gene expression and protein diversity. This study reveals tissue-specific alterations in splicing regulation during tumorigenesis, highlighting its role in cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Gene expression is regulated by transcription, post-transcriptional modifications, and splicing.
  • Alternative splicing affects up to 70% of human genes, influencing protein diversity.
  • Tumorigenesis is associated with altered protein expression, potentially due to alternative splicing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate alternative splicing events that modify proteins in tumor tissues.
  • To understand the impact of tumorigenesis on splicing regulation.
  • To identify affected splicing regulatory machineries.

Main Methods:

  • Genome-wide analyses of gene expression.
  • Detection of alternative splicing events in tumor tissues.
