Abstract

Splicing is the most frequently altered biological process by mutations within gene regions. Information for splicing is recognized by several factors that bind pre-mRNA sequence and, through coordinated interaction, yield mature transcripts. Some in silico methods have been developed to predict if a mutation leads to aberrant splicing patterns. We previously created SpliceAid tool that is able to minimize false positive predictions because it adopts strictly experimental RNA target motifs bound by splicing proteins in humans. In order to improve prediction accuracy and better understand the splicing outcome, the tissue specificity of each splicing regulatory factor has to be taken into account. Here, we have developed SpliceAid 2 by adding the expression data related to the splicing factors extracted from the main proteomic and transcriptomic databases, true 5' and 3' splice sites, polypyrimidine tracts, and branch point sequences. The new version collects 2,220 target sites of 62 human splicing proteins and their expression data in 320 tissues per cell. SpliceAid 2 can be useful to foresee the splicing pattern alteration, to guide the identification of the molecular effect due to the mutations and to understand the tissue-specific alternative splicing. SpliceAid 2 is freely accessible at www.introni.it/spliceaid.html.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
