Computational analysis reveals a correlation of exon-skipping events with splicing, transcription and epigenetic factors

Abstract: Alternative splicing (AS), in higher eukaryotes, is one of the mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation that generate multiple transcripts from the same gene. One particular mode of AS is the skipping event where an exon may be alternatively excluded or constitutively included in the resulting mature mRNA. Both transcript isoforms from this skipping event site, i.e. in which the exon is either included (inclusion isoform) or excluded (skipping isoform), are typically present in one cell, and maintain a su… Show more

“…In summary, there is increasing evidence that changes in the chromatin state can affect the processing of the pre-mRNA [44,45,46,47,48,62,63,64,65,66] and different models for this regulation have been proposed. From our analysis a picture emerges whereby localised chromatin changes inside genes can take place by means of the activation of intragenic transcriptional enhancers.…”

“…As shown recently, RNA-Seq also enables the detection of alternative slicing from various fungi and higher organisms, such as mammals and plants. Alternative splicing from RNA-Seq can also be performed using bioinformatics software, such as GESS (graph-based exonskipping scanner) [29] and Cufflinks [30]. Both tools can detect isoforms of transcripts based on mapping information generated by TopHat using a graph-based method.…”

“…We hypothesize that the observed redundancy could partially account for a different layer of complexity, poorly explored till now. Many recent evidences indicate that some epi-marks are associated to tissue-specific alternative splicing (Luco et al, 2010 , 2011 ; Ye et al, 2014 ). In this regard, the works from Chen and Dent ( 2014 ) have tried to partially overcome this issue by achieving higher predictive accuracy.…”
