HOWTO get alternative splicing event for a specific gene

Question

[Assa Yeroslaviz]

Hi,

I would like to know how I can get the alternative splicing events for a specific gene (mouse/human) from the UCSC browser (e.g. Pax9 in the mouse.)?

Is there a database, where I can find alternative splcing events?

Thanks,
Assa

One way would be to use Table browser at UCSC.

Tools --> Table Browser --> Choose Mouse genome --> Correct build --> group "mRNA and EST" --> track "spliced EST" --> Position "Pax9" hit lookup and then select the gene from the new page that opens up, the coordinates will be populated in the position window --> Select an output format --> Get output.

This could be done for multiple regions but may become tedious.

I am sure there is a table somewhere you can get this from. If I don't get to it first I am sure someone else on this forum will.

thanks, that sounds promising. I will try and see how it fit my questions/needs.
