Bildande av multipla proteinisoformer utifrån en enda gen. Alternativ splitsning innefattar sammanfogning av icke-konsekutiva exoner under tillkomsten av några, men inte alla, av genens transkript. En viss exon kan sålunda förenas med vilken som helst av flera andra exoner för att bilda budbärar-RNA. De alternativa formerna producerar proteiner som har en gemensam del och en avvikande del.
A process whereby multiple RNA transcripts are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of other possible sets of EXONS during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form a mature RNA. The alternative forms of mature MESSENGER RNA produce PROTEIN ISOFORMS in which one part of the isoforms is common while the other parts are different.
