ESTs that map across exon and intron boundaries are a possible indication of novel alternative splicing events (that is, alternative 5'- or 3'-end splice sites) or, alternatively, cDNAs that have been partially processed with some introns left intact.
As a pilot study, PAX8-PPARγ rearrangements were analyzed in 10 samples, previously characterized for mtDNA mutations, in order to investigate whether this event is an alternative or concurrent mutational hit with mtDNA mutations in oncocytic thyroid lesions.
The present findings thus provide support for the relatively untested assumption that mental imagery is more likely to be confused with actually having perceived an event than are alternative (e.g., verbal) forms of representation.
Although these data are consistent with the hypothesis that imagery is more confusable with perceived events than are alternative representational forms, the absence of precise information about what "thinking about the event" actually involved leaves room for uncertainty about the meaning of this finding.
To our knowledge, the current data are the first to provide direct evidence supporting the widely held assumption that mental images are more likely to be confused with perceived events than are alternative forms of representation (e.g., verbal description).
Burning Man officials say their event is unique among alternative events, pointing out its duration -- a week, not a night -- and its emphasis on community.
The annotation file was generated based on transcript annotation using an EST database; a splicing event was considered alternative if it was supported by multiple ESTs.
In this case, a failure event is raised to trigger alternative rules (if they are defined).
Indeed, a large set of differential splicing event was evidenced, including alternative splicing, alternative donor or acceptor site, intron retention, and alternative first or last exons (Figures 3 and 4 and Supplemental Figures S1 and S2).
Hypothetical event: Hypothetical events are those that are alternative or occur in other possible worlds.
