 Context examples 

This protein is involved in the regulation of both RNA splicing and transcription elongation through the mediation of serine/threonine phosphorylation.

(Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 12, NCI Thesaurus)

Alternative splicing of the AP2 gene produces four mRNA transcripts, resulting in four protein isoforms.

(Oncogene AP2, NCI Thesaurus)

Three isoforms of M-CSF result from alternative splicing.

(Colony Stimulating Factor 1, NCI Thesaurus)

Three variant forms are obtained as a result of alternate promoter utilization and alternative splicing.

(Collagen XVIII (Alpha 1), NCI Thesaurus)
