Hypothesis
Can a web-based tool effectively predict alternative splicing events from Affymetrix probeset data?
Conclusion
Splicy generates probeset annotations and images that help researchers understand the relationship between probes and transcript variants.
Supporting Evidence
- Splicy provides graphical displays of probeset annotations.
- The tool helps in understanding transcript variants linked to specific genes.
- It integrates genomic annotations from various sources.
Takeaway
Splicy is a tool that helps scientists see how different parts of genes can change in cancer, making it easier to study gene behavior.
Methodology
Splicy retrieves data on Affymetrix probes mapping to gene transcripts and displays this information graphically.
