Parallel evolution of a splicing program controlling neuronal excitability in flies and mammals

Antonio Torres-Méndez, Sînziana Pop, Sophie Bonnal, Isabel Almudí, Alida Avola, Ruairí J.V. Roberts, Chiara Paolantoni, Ana Alcaina‐Caro, Ane Martín Anduaga, Irmgard U. Haussmann, Violeta Morı́n, Fernando Casares, Matthias Soller, Sebastián Kadener, Jean‐Yves Roignant, , Manuel Irimia

The paper identifies a splicing program in neurons of Drosophila and mammals, showing how it evolves independently in different species to regulate ion channels and neuronal activity.
