Method Primary source abstract: "[Investigators] analyzed a set of 46 differentially spliced genes encoding experimentally characterized human proteins containing both structured and intrinsically disordered amino acid segments."
Comments P.6673 left column 2nd paragraph: "Dunker and co-workers analyzed 46 alternatively spliced human genes and found that 81% of all alternative splice sites occur in fully (57%) or partially (24%) disordered protein domains. Only 19% occur in ordered regions (primary source)." Primary source abstract: "[Investigators] show that 81% of 75 alternatively spliced fragments in these proteins were associated with fully (57%) or partially (24%) disordered protein regions."
