Nanopore long-read RNA sequencing reveals functional alternative splicing variants in human vascular smooth muscle cells

Abstract Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the major contributor to vascular repair and remodeling, which showed high level of phenotypic plasticity. Abnormalities in VSMC plasticity can lead to multiple cardiovascular diseases, wherein alternative splicing plays important roles. However, alt...
