Abstract

Weak codon bias in short exons and separation by a short intron induces difficulty in extracting period-3 component that marks the presence of exonic regions. The annotation task of such short exons has been addressed in the proposed model independent signal processing based method with following features: (a) DNA sequences have been mapped using multiple mapping schemes, (b) period-3 spectrums corresponding to multiple mappings have been optimized to enhance short exon-short intron discrimination, and (c) spectrums corresponding to multiple mapping schemes have been subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for identifying greater number of such short exons. A comparative study with other methods indicates improved detection of contiguous short exons disunited by a short intron. Apart from the annotation of exonic and intronic regions, the proposed algorithm can also complement the methods for the detection of alternative splicing by intron retention, as one of the characteristic feature for intron retention is the presence of two short exons flanking a short intron.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
