From: MECP2, a gene associated with Rett syndrome in humans, shows conserved coding regions, independent Alu insertions, and a novel transcript across primate evolution

Fig. 1

MECP2 structure showing exons (E) and introns (In). The figure shows transcripts resulting from alternative splicing with 1,734 and 10,241 nucleotides (nt). Transcripts from different regions of exon 4 are indicated as 4a and 4b. Translation of mature mRNA molecules results in proteins of 498 and 486 amino acids (aa), MECP2_e1 and MECP2_e2, respectively
