The situation is further complicated by extensive splicing variation and elusive gene expression.
Therefore, only exons that were spliced out individually were compared to the mean values.
Besides, it was a more suitable medium for splicing and editing.
The finding of a splicing protein that was highly expressed in the brain was initially met with considerable excitement.
The use of such consensus sequences is likely to improve alignment, increase splicing evidence, and has been shown to improve the detection of protein homology.
