Extensive Search for Discriminative Features of Alternative Splicing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing events can be classified into various types, including cassette, mutually exclusive, alternative 3' splice site, alternative 5' splice site, retained intron. The detection of features of a particular type of alternative splicing events is an important and challenging problem in understanding the mechanism of alternative splicing. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding regulatory sequence patterns, which are specific to a particular type of alternative splicing events, on alternative exons and their flanking introns. For this problem, we have designed various pattern features and evaluated them on the alternative splicing data compiled in Lee's ASAP (Alternative Splicing Annotation Project) database. Through our work, we have succeeded in finding features with practically high accuracies.

Role of Aberrant Alternative Splicing in Cancer
Alternative splicing can alter genome sequence and as a consequence, many genes change to oncogenes. This event can also affect protein function and diversity. The growing number of study elucidate the pathological influence of impaired alternative splicing events on numerous disease including cancer. Here, we would like to highlight the significant role of alternative splicing in cancer biolog...
متن کاملAn Effective Path-aware Approach for Keyword Search over Data Graphs
Abstract—Keyword Search is known as a user-friendly alternative for structured languages to retrieve information from graph-structured data. Efficient retrieving of relevant answers to a keyword query and effective ranking of these answers according to their relevance are two main challenges in the keyword search over graph-structured data. In this paper, a novel scoring function is proposed, w...
متن کاملVirtual genetic coding and time series analysis for alternative splicing prediction in C. elegans
MOTIVATION Prediction of alternative splicing has been traditionally based on the study of expressed sequences, helped by homology considerations and the analysis of local discriminative features. More recently, machine learning algorithms have been developed that try avoid or reduce the use of a priori information, with partial success. OBJECTIVE AND METHOD With the aim of developing a fully...
متن کاملTassDB: a database of alternative tandem splice sites
Subtle alternative splice events at tandem splice sites are frequent in eukaryotes and substantially increase the complexity of transcriptomes and proteomes. We have developed a relational database, TassDB (TAndem Splice Site DataBase), which stores extensive data about alternative splice events at GYNGYN donors and NAGNAG acceptors. These splice events are of subtle nature since they mostly re...
متن کاملColony Forming Unit Endothelial Cells Do not Exhibit Telomerase Alternative Splicing Variants and Activity
Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...
