When there are two optional start sites and indeed alternate splice sites with a single intron exon boundary, can upregulation or indeed down regulation of adjacent snar RNA gene expression regulate which splice variant is expressed?
In a different question thread the general consensus is coming around to H index, rather than the IF factor of the Journals an academic publish their work, as being a better measure of the...
