Alternative Splicing Database Project
The Alternate Transcript Diversity Project (ATD) Project aims to understand the mechanisms that are responsible for the formation of transcript isoforms on a genome-wide scale by creating a value-added database of full-length alternate transcripts from human and mouse. The AltTrans pipeline extends upon the AltSplice pipeline to derive Transcript Patterns from AltSplice Splice Patterns - a Transcript Pattern is one which is annotated for transcription start site, splicing and the terminating polyA site. The Alternative Splicing Database (ASD) Project aims to understand the mechanism of alternative splicing on a genome-wide scale by creating a database of alternative splice events and the resultant isoform splice patterns of genes from human, and other model species.

NewsWe are pleased to announce that new interfaces will be available in 2007. ASD and ATD websites will be merged into one website called ASTD. You can see some screenshots by clicking here. ToolsWe have developed a
workbench with tools relating to alternative splicing. The
ASD Workbench can be accessed at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/asd-srv/wb.cgi.
As part of the consortium effort the Bork group at EMBL-Heidelberg have
developed a text minig tool that collects PubMed entries pertaining
alternative
splicing.
It can be accessed at http://www.bork.embl.de/LSAT/

The ASD, ATD, AEdb and ASTD resources will be phased out beginning of 2012.
From now, you can access up-to-date alternative splicing events information through Ensembl
Alternatively, you can retrieve all the archived data from ASD/ATD/ASTD/AEdb projects on the EBI ftp site at ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/astd
