Cell-type-specific splicing of transcription regulators and Ptbp1 by Rbfox1/2/3 in the developing neocortex

How master splicing regulators crosstalk with each other and to what extent transcription regulators are differentially spliced remain unclear in the developing brain. Here, cell-type-specific RNA-Seq of the developing neocortex uncover that transcription regulators are enriched for differential splicing, altering protein isoforms or inducing nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Transient expression of Rbfox proteins in radial glia progenitors induces neuronal splicing events preferentially in transcription regulators such as
