The Central Dogma in Eukaryotes. Genomic DNA of genes often contain introns that are spliced out when an RNA matures to a mRNA. This excision of introns can result in splice variants of the same gene with variants of the same protein. Credit: Thomas Shafee (CC-BY 4.0)

Decisions… decisions…
What kinds of decisions are made for stem cells to differentiate into different cell types? What types of regulation occur during this process?
