Abstract
Addiction is a chronic and relapsing medical condition characterized by the compulsive use of drugs or alcohol despite harmful consequences. While transcriptional regulation has long been recognized for its role in addiction, recent genome-wide analyses have uncovered widespread alternative splicing changes that shift protein isoform diversity in multiple brain reward regions central to addiction. In this review, we discuss emerging research and evidence that alternative splicing is dysregulated in cocaine, alcohol, and opioid use disorders.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Genetics and Development aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Genetics and Development we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form.
2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.[...]
The subject of Genetics and Development is divided into six themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year:
• Cancer Genomics
• Genome Architecture and Expression
• Molecular and genetic basis of disease
• Developmental mechanisms, patterning and evolution
• Cell reprogramming, regeneration and repair
• Genetics of Human Origin / Evolutionary genetics (alternate years)
