info Database description 

The database represents classified patterns of alternative splicing (AS) and alternative transcriptional initiation (ATI) in six eukaryotic genomes.

info Features and manner of utilization of database 

This database enables to search and represent alternative splicing/transcriptional initiation genes and their patterns (ex: cassette) based on mapping results between full-length cDNA and genomic sequences. Furthermore the database output translated sequences of their isoforms.
