We present explicit results for the full set of splitting kernels in a basis that includes the leptonic distribution functions that, starting from this order in the QED coupling, couple to the partonic densities. Finally, we perform a phenomenological analysis of the impact of these corrections in the splitting functions. %K NLO Computations %K QCD Phenomenology %R 10.1007/JHEP10(2016)056 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.02887 %U https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2016)056 %P 056-16pp
