Fast rate of evolution in alternatively spliced coding regions of mammalian genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>At least half of mammalian genes are alternatively spliced. Alternative isoforms are often genome-specific and it has been suggested that alternative splicing is one of the major mechanisms for generating protein diversity in the cou...
