APPRIS is a pipeline that deploys a range of computational methods to provide value to the annotations of the human genome. APPRIS also selects one of the CDS for each gene as the principal functional isoform.

Recent studies have estimated that almost 100% of multi-exon human genes produce differently spliced mRNAs. It is important to designate one of the isoforms as the "principal" functional isoform in order to predict changes in function, structure or localisation brought about by alternative splicing. APPRIS defines the principal variant by combining protein structural and functional information and information from the conservation of related species.

The server is being used in the context of the scale up of the ENCODE project to annotate the human genome.

Recommended Projects

SIBsim4
SIBsim4: an extensive rewrite of the sim4 program to improve execution speed and provide more informative output. Written in C, mainly targeted at Linux and Unix. Keywords: bioinformatics, genome, transcriptome, EST, splicing, exon, intron.
Altrans
Quantification of Splicing Events
Read Analysis n Comparison Kit in Java
In addition to RPKM (Reads Per Kbp per Million reads) values, RACKJ computes read counts for exons and splicing events. In so doing, it is feasible to compare two samples and identify genes with most significant difference in exon(splicing)-level.
RNASeq-MATS
MATS is a computational tool to detect differential alternative splicing events from RNA-Seq data. The statistical model of MATS calculates the P-value and false discovery rate that the difference in the isoform ratio of a gene between two conditions exceeds a given user-defined threshold. From the RNA-Seq data, MATS can automatically detect and analyze alternative splicing events corresponding to all major types of alternative splicing patterns. MATS handles replicate RNA-Seq data from both paired and unpaired study design. More information can be found at http://rnaseq-mats.sourceforge.net.
Burrows-Wheeler Aligner
BWA is a program for aligning sequencing reads against a large reference genome (e.g. human genome). It has two major components, one for read shorter than 150bp and the other for longer reads.
