Description
 
Alternative splicing (AS) generates multiple transcripts and protein products from a single eukaryotic gene. Genome-wide analyses have established the prevalence of alternative splicing in higher eukaryotes. Alternative splicing provides a major mechanism for regulation of gene function and has been implicated in a number of human diseases.

The study of alternative splicing has benefited tremendously from computational analyses of genomic data. The purpose of this CSB workshop is to cover latest results and challenges in genomic and bioinformatic analyses of alternative splicing. We hope to bring computational biologists and experimentalists together to this exciting field. This one-day workshop will consist of 8 talks (approximately 30 minutes each).
