Alternative Splicing in the Postgenomic Era

Alternative Splicing in the Postgenomic Era is the first book that is solely dedicated to the topic of alternative splicing. The book contains chapters by experts in the field that cover nearly all aspects of alternative splicing. The purpose of this book is to provide a single, authoritative source of information on alternative splicing that is accessible to researchers in diverse fields. The book contains information that will familiarize readers that have not previously encountered alternative splicing, but also contains sufficient depth to provide new information to experts in the field.

First book focused on the topic of alternative splicing
