Expression of Alternative Isoforms
>BioSapiens Book We demonstrated that alternatively splice variants are expressed in as proteins Drosophila, and that they are expressed in sufficient quantities and are stable enough to be detectable in proteomics experiments.

Apologies to Osvaldo Graña from whom I totally stole the page design, but not the colour scheme, obviously ...

Thanks to Petr Sobola for the skater.
