Presentation Transcript

  1. How to tell an exon from an intron?

  2. Overview • Using splicing enhancer WMMs • Using repeat statistics • Parameters and training sets • Structural information

  3. Using Splicing Enhancer (SE) WMMs • 4 WMMs derived from SELEX experiments (M. Zhang & A. Krainer labs, CSHL) • 6051 Refseq genes (“clean” Refseq set) • Scan introns and exons for high-scoring putative SEs. • Correlations of SE positions • Significant differences between exons and introns

  4. Pairwise distance distribution (introns)

  5. Pairwise distance distribution (exons)

  6. Using repeat statistics • ~ 90% of simple and low complexity (LC) repeats in introns are: • AT-rich • [T(A)m]n, [G(A)m]n, [C(A)m]n • Simple and LC repeats in exons are GC-rich

  7. Future Developments • Using SE WMMs with selective repeat masking • An even-periodic, 5th order Markov Model to score introns? • A new Twinscan parameter set based on “cleaner” training set

  8. Parameters and training sets • 3 “clean” Refseq sets (Randy & Sam, Jeltje, Mikhail) • Different selection criteria • Different sizes: 2 sets of ~12000 genes, 1 set of ~6000 genes • Create one training set from these 3 and re-estimate Twinscan parameters
