A) Alternative splicing allows for different transcripts to be created by the same gene sequence.
B) The researcher's sample was contaminated.
C) Exon shuffling allows for different transcripts to be created by the same gene sequence.
D) Intron shuffling allows for different transcripts to be created by the same gene sequence.
E) It is not possible; there was an error in the alignment process.
