What is splice prediction?
What is splice prediction?
For splice site prediction within a sequence putative splice sites are preprocessed using position specific score matrices. 10147. SplicePort: An Interactive Splice Site Analysis Tool. SplicePort is a web-based tool for splice-site analysis that allows the user to make splice-site predictions for submitted sequences.
How do I find splicing sites?
Introns are removed from primary transcripts by cleavage at conserved sequences called splice sites. These sites are found at the 5′ and 3′ ends of introns. Most commonly, the RNA sequence that is removed begins with the dinucleotide GU at its 5′ end, and ends with AG at its 3′ end.
What does a splice site mutation do?
A genetic alteration in the DNA sequence that occurs at the boundary of an exon and an intron (splice site). This change can disrupt RNA splicing resulting in the loss of exons or the inclusion of introns and an altered protein-coding sequence.
What is a cryptic exon?
Cryptic exons are considered splicing variants that may introduce frameshifts or stop codons, among other changes in the resulting mRNA. These aberrant mRNA have been demonstrated in motor cortex and middle temporal gyrus of ALS and FTLD patients [1].
How do you run SpliceAI?
The simplest way to install SpliceAI is through pip or conda:
- pip install spliceai # or conda install -c bioconda spliceai.
- git clone https://github.com/Illumina/SpliceAI.git cd SpliceAI python setup.py install.
- pip install tensorflow # or conda install tensorflow.
How do you cite a mutation taster?
If you use MutationTaster, please cite our publication: Schwarz JM, Cooper DN, Schuelke M, Seelow D. MutationTaster2: mutation prediction for the deep-sequencing age. Nat Methods. 2014 Apr;11(4):361-2.
Where can I find splice donor and acceptor sites?
The borders between introns and exons are termed as splice sites. The splice site in the upstream part of an intron is called the donor splice site (in the direction 5′ to 3′) and the downstream part is termed as the acceptor splice site (in the direction 3′ to 5′).
What are the benefits of gene splicing?
Gene splicing technology, therefore, allows researchers to insert new genes into the existing genetic material of an organisms genome so that entire traits, from disease resistance to vitamins, and can be copied from one organism and transferred another.
What are cryptic introns?
The cryptic intron contains sequences similar to those required for recognition of normal plant introns. We have modified the codon usage of the gfp gene to mutate the intron and to restore proper expression in Arabidopsis.
What is a Pseudoexon?
Pseudoexons are intronic sequences, sometimes far from exons, that have the basic consensus sequences at the 5′ and 3′ splice sites but are not normally spliced into mature mRNA [Buratti et al., 2007; Dhir and Buratti, 2010; Dhir et al., 2010].
