Alternative splicing (AS) results in different protein products from the same genetic code. How does the cell choose what to do? These choices are critical for proper gene expression. In fact, it has been estimated that AS is dysregulated in over half of all human genetic diseases.  This talk will cover how to design and execute experiments to evaluate changes in AS patterns of target genes -- globally with next-generation sequencing like RNASeq and in a targeted manner with techniques such as RT-PCR.
