Alternative Splicing Definition:

  • Use of different exons during RNA splicing to generate different polypeptides from the same gene.

    Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton



Alternative Splicing Notes:

Alternative splicing, also known as differential splicing, takes places during gene expression, which causes single gene to code for different proteins or polypeptides. The exons from a gene may be excluded or included during splicing and a processed mRNA is made out of that one gene.
