Ageing with Chagas disease: an overview of an urban Brazilian cohort in Rio de Janeiro.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Alternative splicing (AS) of mRNA is a vital mechanism for enhancing genomic complexity in eukaryotes. Spliced isoforms of the same gene can have diverse molecular and biological functions and are often differentially expressed across various tissues, times, and conditions. Thus, AS has important implication...
