Thousands of human genes contain introns ending in NAGNAG (N any nucleotide), where both NAGs can function as 3' splice sites, yielding isoforms that differ by inclusion/exclusion of three bases. However, the physiological relevance and conservation of this NAGNAG splicing has been very controversial. Using very deep RNA-Seq data from human and mouse tissues with both technical and biological...
