The elegance of pre-mRNA splicing mechanisms continues to interest scientists even after over a half century, since the discovery of the fact that coding regions in genes are interrupted by non-coding sequences. The vast majority of human genes have several mRNA variants, coding structurally and functionally different protein isoforms in a tissue-specific manner and with a linkage to specific developmental stages of the organism. Alteration of splicing patterns shifts the balance of functionally distinct proteins in living systems, distorts normal molecular pathways, and may trigger the onset and progression of various pathologies. Over the past two decades, numerous studies have been conducted in various life sciences disciplines to deepen our understanding of splicing mechanisms and the extent of their impact on the functioning of living systems. This review aims to summarize experimental and computational approaches used to elucidate the functions of splice variants of a single gene based on our experience accumulated in the laboratory of interactomics of proteoforms at the Institute of Biomedical Chemistry (IBMC) and best global practices.
