The function and evolution of alternative splicing▪ Alternative splicing tremendously diversifies transcriptomes among organisms, even when their repertoires of protein coding genes are similar. The fast improvement on read length of NGS technologies will render a more thorough and unambiguous identification of alternative splice forms. Such resources could serve as the basis for exploring conservation and divergence of splicing events among organisms. They could also facilitate studies on the function of splicing events specific to certain organisms. RNA-seq of non-model organisms for▪ phylogenomic studies RNA-seq approaches enabled de novo identification of genes from organisms of no assembled genome sequences. Analyzing such extensive list of genes will result in better resolution of organism phylogeny. In addition, by comparing gene sequences among a wide range of organisms, many intriguing …
