The rpl-22 gene in C. elegans has two annotated splice variants and there is indeed EST evidence (green) for both variants (image below), but it is a little bit unbalanced. The secondary isoform (shown on top) encodes for a much shorter protein and has very little transcript evidence. To resolve this, the RPL12 protein was analyzed using mass spec (image below). Does the mass spec data provide support for the shorter isoform (YESS/NO)?
