To generate correct mature mRNAs, the exons must be identified and joined together precisely and efficiently by RNA splicing mechanism. It is to be noted that about one third or a half of all disease-causing mutations effect RNA splicing. However, there is little bioinformatics tools to directly identify sequence variants associated with splicing events (SVASE) based on RNA-seq data. We developed ISVASE, a simple and convenient tool for identifying SVASE directly using RNA-seq data. Comparing with the existing software PVAAS, our method has several advantages such as stringent rule-depended filters and statistical filters in each step, detection sequence variants for known splicing events, identification sequence variants in two parts of splicing (junction) separately, detection junction shift events if providing known splicing annotation, evaluating splicing signal, comparing with known DNA mutation and/or RNA editing data, and short running time.

PySpline is a graphical, cross-platform program for processing X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data. It allows processing parameters to be adjusted and observe the effect on R-space data.
