Abstract:
Splice site variants may lead to transcript alterations, causing exons inclusion, exclusion, truncation, or intron retention. Interpreting the consequences of a specific splice site variant is not straightforward, especially if the variant is located outside of the canonical splice sites. We developed MutSpliceDB: https://brb.nci.nih.gov/splicing, a public resource to facilitate the interpretation of splice sites variants effects on splicing based on manually reviewed RNA-seq BAM files from samples with splice site variants.
