I am going to give a 15-min talk at the EB2005 meeting in San Diego. Something I worked on two years ago, about the impact of alternative splicing on transmembrane proteins. Click to get the paper
Hopefully this topic can connect well with the general audience of EB2005. Any suggestion is welcomed.
Abstract Title:
Alternative splicing frequently produces soluble isoforms of membrane proteins
Society:
Biochemistry/Molecular Biology (ASBMB)
Topic:
2026-ASBMB Deciphering Genomes and Proteomes (Genomes and Proteomes Topic)
In recent months, several groups published papers about predictive identification of alternative exons from genomic sequences. These papers come from Rotem Sorek, Brenton Graveley and Chris Burge lab.
These work utiltize features that are characteristic of functional alternative exons. For example, alternatively spliced exons are in general shorter. They have slightly weaker splice sites, and are more likely to be in frame. The most important discriminative features probably come from comparative genomics. For example, functional alternative exons are usually spanned by highly conserved intronic sequences.
There will be an Alternative Splicing Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting at ISMB 2005 this coming June. Please click the link to see the details.
