Abstract: Microexons are small sized (≤51 bp) exons which undergo extensive alternative splicing in neurons, microglia, embryonic stem cells, and cancer cells, giving rise to cell type specific protein isoforms. Due to their small sizes, microexons provide… read more here.

Abstract: Microexons are important components of the neuronal transcriptome. Though tiny, their splicing is essential for neuronal development and function. Microexons are typically included in the nervous system and skipped in other tissues, but less is… read more here.
