How you read the gene alters what you get

15 July, 2011

Multiple varients of a given gene can be made with the same genetic instructions, it just depends on how the cell ‘reads’ the DNA. Alternative versions of mRNA transcripts can be achieved mainly by altering the start and end reading of a gene and this seems to be more common than the traditionally expected alternative, splicing.
