Detection of Alu Exonization Events in Human Frontal Cortex From RNA-Seq Data

Alu exonization events functionally diversify the transcriptome, creating alternative mRNA isoforms and accounting for an estimated 5% of the alternatively spliced (skipped) exons in the human genome. We developed computational methods, implemented into a software called Alubaster, for detecting inc...
