abstract：:Mutually exclusive splicing is a regulated means to generate protein diversity, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here comparative genome analysis revealed the built-in intronic elements for controlling mutually exclusive splicing of the 14-3-3ξ pre-mRNA. These elements are clade specific but are ev...
