Abstract:Owing to the development of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, a large number of somatic variants have been identified in various types of cancer. However, the functional significance of most somatic variants remains unknown. Somatic variants that occur in exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) regions are thought to prevent serine and arginine‐rich (SR) proteins from binding to ESE sequence motifs, which leads to exon skipping. We computationally identified somatic variants in ESEs by compiling numerous o… Show more
