OBSCN undergoes extensive alternative splicing during human cardiac and skeletal muscle development by Ali Oghabian, Per Harald Jonson, Swethaa Natraj Gayathri, Mridul Johari, Ella Nippala, David Gomez Andres, Francina Munell, Jessica Camacho Soriano, Maria Angeles Sanchez Duran, Juha Sinisalo, Heli Tolppanen, Johanna Tolva, Peter Hackman, Marco Savarese, Bjarne Udd

“…Conclusions We conclude that the splicing of OBSCN is extensively regulated during the human skeletal/cardiac muscle development. We developed an interactive visualization tool that can be used by clinicians and researchers to study the inclusion of specific OBSCN exons in pre- and postnatal cardiac and skeletal muscles and access the statistics for the differential inclusion of the exons across the studied sample groups. …”
