[Taxacom] about alternative splicing

[David Campbell]

I think cDNA has been the most common "genomic" approach in mollusks, so
there is some possibility for alternative splicing, paralogs amplified
under different condition (e.g., age reproductive cycle, or stress), and
similar issues to be of concern.
