NCIt definition : Alternate Splicing is a process in which multiple protein isoforms or products are
generated from a single gene as a result of splicing together different nonconsecutive
exons during the processing of initially identical nascent transcripts of a gene into
mature mRNA transcripts. An exon may be connected to any one of several alternative
exons to form the mRNA and generate related proteins, often in a tissue or developmental
stage specific manner.;
