You determine that a single gene encodes a longer protein in embryos and a shorter protein in the adult organism. Describe experiments to determine whether this results from alternative splicing or RNA editing. Provide sample positive results. You have cloned what you thought was the complete sequence of a gene. However, closer scrutiny reveals that the sequence lacks an entire exon normally found in other organisms. Propose a hypothesis that explains these results.
