title: Getting under the skin of alternative splicing: identification of epithelial-specific splicing factors.
abstract: Alternative splicing patterns are regulated by factors that direct the activity of the spliceosome. In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Warzecha et al. (2009) identify two new splicing regulators whose epithelial-specific expression induces several tissue-specific splicing events.
