Comments: Alternative splicing and genome complexity: Do humans have more alternative splicing?

Pretty good,sometimes I really think that bioinformatics is a subject digging data on data,while the later one many times are not solid enough,how can the former be?
tons of bioinformatics papers will analyze the corresponding positve and negative data as much as possible.Well, the same consideration already there:)

Acturally, I don't like the word "bioinformatics". I and my colleagues prefer to use "Computational Biology". I think it's a misunderstand that the "damn prediction" is our mainly aim. But, I think we should focus on elaborated analysis, which use computer as a tool, not aim.

Once I think about this question:

Human has 32,000 genes, but plant has >twice (not Arabidopsis, but such as rice). Why?

Maybe, AS is the key. Animal prefer to use AS to raise the complexity of genome, but plant use duplicated genes more. Then...
