Computational analysis of alternative splicing

Collaborative projects such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have generated various -omics and clinical data on cancer. Many computational tools have been developed to facilitate the study of the molecular characterization of tumors using data from the TCGA. Alternative splicing of a gene produces splicing variants, and accumulating evidence has revealed its essential role in cancer-related processes, implying the urgent need to discover tumor-specific isoforms and uncover their potential functions in tumorigenesis.

The time required to analyse RNA-seq data varies considerably, due to discrete steps for computational assembly, quantification of gene expression and splicing analysis. Recent fast non-alignment tools such as Kallisto and Salmon overcome these problems, but these tools require a high quality, comprehensive reference transcripts dataset (RTD), which are rarely available in plants.
