Abstract: Abstract Exons within transcripts are traditionally classified as first, internal or last exons, each governed by different regulatory mechanisms. We recently described the widespread usage of ‘hybrid’ exons that serve as terminal or internal exons… read more here.

Abstract: We found that insertions and deletions occur more frequently in longer internal exons and mostly encode structure-less regions, and that half of them are attributable to alterations in tandem repeats. Insertions and deletions (indels) are… read more here.
