RNA-seq data analysis has revealed abundant alternative splicing in eukaryotic mRNAs. However, splicing is only one of many processing events that transcripts may undergo during their lifetime. Researchers from the Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell, CNRS present here ...

Genetic diversity is the amount of variation observed between DNA sequences from distinct individuals of a given species. This pivotal concept of population genetics has implications for species health, domestication, management and conservation. Levels of genetic diversity seem to vary ...
