Description |
|
| Alternative splicing is a major versatile mechanism that generates diversity in human transcriptome. Its regulation is complex and is an important means of physiological control. Its disruption is associated with many diseases, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, heart failure and neurodegenerative disorders. The realisation that alternative splicing is an important way of controlling gene expression has spawned several large-scale efforts to create bioinformatics resources on alternate transcripts and protein isoforms. These efforts require community-based collaborations involving bioinformaticians, computational & experimental biologists, and pharmaceutical researchers. This symposium aims to bring together this community to discuss these resources. | |
