Comprehensive Identification and Alternative Splicing of Microexons in Drosophila

Interrupted exons in the pre-mRNA transcripts are ligated together through RNA splicing, which plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. Exons with a length ≤ 30 nt are defined as microexons that are unique in identification. However, microexons, especially those shorter than 8 nt,...
