AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on RNA splicing software, specifically tools used to predict RNA splicing sites. A notable recommendation is GeneSplicer, available through the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). Participants express a desire for software that identifies splicing sites without separating introns and exons, as there is a belief that splicing occurs within introns. It is noted that while knowing intron and exon locations can help deduce splice sites, existing software may not be entirely accurate, particularly for initial predictions. The conversation suggests that if alternative splicing is suspected, conducting molecular biology experiments may be necessary for validation.

RNA Splicing Software ?

What is the Softwares used to predict RNA splicing sites ?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
I don't know which ones are regarded the best, but http://www.tigr.org/tdb/GeneSplicer/gene_spl.html" is a software program freely available through the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR).

Hey thanks :)

But, i don't want anything which sequesters introns and exons.

Coz i suspect that splicing takes place inside INTRON.
So software has 2 identify only the site of action and not separating introns and exons !
 
? but if you know where the introns and exons are, you can automatically deduce the splice site.. and these software programs are not perfect in predicting splicing, especially the first one is difficult to get correct I believe.

If you suspect alternative splicing is taking place, I'd do some molecular biology experiments..

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
