  Abstract

Motivation: Despite increased availability of genome annotation data, a comprehensive resource for in-depth analysis of splice signal distributions and alternative splicing (AS) patterns in eukaryote genomes is still lacking. To meet this need, we have developed EuSplice—a unique splice-centric database which provides reliable splice signal and AS information for 23 eukaryotes.

Results: The EuSplice database contains 95,822 AS events and 2.1 million splice signals associated with over 270,000 protein-coding genes. The intuitive, user-friendly EuSplice web interface has powerful data mining and graphics capabilities for inter-genomic comparative analysis of splice signals, putative cryptic splice sites and AS events. Moreover, the seamless integration of splicing data to extensive gene-specific annotations such as homolog annotations, functional information, mutations and sequence details makes EuSplice a powerful one-stop information resource for investigating the molecular mechanisms of complex splicing events, disease associations, and the evolution of splicing in eukaryotes.
