Does gene isoform have different genetic location?
I would like to understand how a gene is assigned to a specific coordinate (e.g. NOC2L Chr1 879583(Start) 894679(End)). Next, let's say NOC2L gene has a few different isoforms, do those isoforms ...

What are the differences between isozymes, allozymes and isoforms? [closed]
As far as I have understood
Isozymes are derived from different genes but perform similar functions
Allozymes are derived from the same gene but different loci, functionally conserved
Isoforms are a ...

Why and how does uniprot list around 150,000 proteins in the human genome?
Using organism:"Homo sapiens (Human) [9606]" as a query in uniprot returns about 146,000 proteins. I was under the impression that there were only 20-25,000 protein ...

minimum ratio of the shortest isoform to the longest one derived from one same parent gene
I want to know what is the minimum percentage of the shortest isoform/transcript to the longest one that derived from the same parent gene? Does it have organism specificity? What is the function of ...

Can intron become exon in alternative splicing?
From this image
We can see several exons that are actually introns in other genes. It's not a really a different gene, it's an alternative splicing of a gene. My background is not biology so is it ...

What percentage of protein isoforms have different functions?
I am looking for studies on how many protein isoforms have different functions, preferably in human. We know that a great many, if not most, of human genes are alternatively spliced and that many ...
