How Alternative RNA Splicing Can Promote Breast Cancer

Caption

Krainer and colleagues reveal details about how the protein SRSF1 can promote cancer, via its function as a regulator of alternative splicing of gene messages. One gene called CASC4, whose splice variants are regulated by SRSF1 and can promote breast cancer, is analyzed here.
