Summary Introduction
To review:
Alternative splicing and its biological significance.
Introduction:
The mRNA (messenger RNA) molecule obtained after transcription, undergoes various steps to become a functional mRNA. When it becomes functional, it is used in translation for the synthesis of proteins. Transcription is the initial stage of gene expression.
