The Evolutionary Landscape of Alternative Splicing in Vertebrate Species

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the evolution of alternative splicing has for the most part been very rapid and thatAlternative splicing patterns of most organs more strongly reflect the identity of the species rather than the organ type, with the highest complexity in primates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread intron retention in mammals functionally tunes transcriptomes

TL;DR: It is shown that intron retention acts widely to reduce the levels of transcripts that are less or not required for the physiology of the cell or tissue type in which they are detected, and this "transcriptome tuning" function of IR acts through both nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and nuclear sequestration and turnover of IR transcripts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide changes in lncRNA, splicing, and regional gene expression patterns in autism

TL;DR: Post-mortem genome-wide transcriptome analysis of the largest cohort of samples analysed so far, to the knowledge, interrogate the noncoding transcriptome, alternative splicing, and upstream molecular regulators to broaden the understanding of molecular convergence in ASD.
