alternative splicing

alternative splicing
the splicing of RNA at variable positions on the primary transcript as a function of the type of tissue or of the developmental stage, removing varying introns to yield distinct mRNA's that encode specific proteins; it is a mechanism for developmental regulation and for tissue specificity.
