Transcript expression and pre-mRNA processing are emerging as important mechanisms that increase the complexity of eukaryotic transcriptomes. These processes allow a genomic locus to produce a number of mRNAs and proteins with distinct properties that affect function, stability, and sub-cellular localization by controlling the rate of transcript expression, by varying the initiation or termination of transcription and by modulating the inclusion of exons (alternative splicing) in mature mRNAs. Thus, it is crucial to determine the extent of these types of variations to better understand their importance in creating organism diversity. The studies described in this thesis provide the first genome-wide estimations of how ...
