About Splicing Splicing is a normal mechanism that the cell uses in order to produce many different, but closely related proteins from a single gene by varying the processing of the RNA.

Multiple transcripts arising from alternative initiation or polyadenylation sites, or alternative RNA splicing at a single locus were not considered as multiple genes but as variants of a single transcription unit.
