“…However, evaluating how many of the detected transcripts are translated and functional in the cell remains challenging (Wang et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2014). This difficulty has stimulated the development of integrative approaches combining gene annotations, RNA-seq data and also data generated by other high-throughput techniques (Marti-Solano et al, 2020;de la Fuente et al, 2020;Louadi et al, 2020;Ait-hamlat et al, 2020;Agosto et al, 2019;Sterne-Weiler et al, 2018;Denti et al, 2018;Tapial et al, 2017;Tranchevent et al, 2017;Weatheritt et al, 2016;Ezkurdia et al, 2015;Rodriguez et al, 2013;Gonzàlez-Porta et al, 2013;De La Grange et al, 2010) toward a better characterisation of the AS landscape. Recent studies underscore AS functional impact and contribution to protein diversity (Marti-Solano et al, 2020;Agosto et al, 2019).…”
