Alternative splicing

a process whereby multiple protein isoforms are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of nonconsecutive exons during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form messenger rna. The alternative forms produce proteins in which one part is common while the other part is different.

How to find motif frequencies

... and I am going to cluster yeast gene using seceral data sources. I know that gene can be clustered using gene expression data and using other alternatives. I klnow that motif frequencies is also a nother solution. I have read in a paper that using frequency measure of motifs we can cluster ...
