Figure Lengend Snippet: Alternative splicing isoform analysis via primer extension. All classifications of splicing can be analyzed including exon insertion ( a ), exon deletion ( b ), 3′ splicing acceptor ( c ), 5′ splicing donor ( d ) and mutually exclusive exons ( e ). Exon lengths are not to scale. Primer extension assays of respective genes were assayed on a MALDI-TOF MS. In the mass spectra, extension primer refers to unextended primers, while the subsequent peaks indicate the primer with an extension of the base(s) specified.
