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.
