From: A procedure for identifying homologous alternative splicing events
AS type | Insertion/deletion | Substitution |
---|---|---|
Alternative transcriptional initiation | No | Yes |
Exon skipping | If exon size is multiple of 3 | If frameshift changes |
Alternate polyadenilation site | No | Yes |
Intron retention | If intron size is multiple of 3 | If frameshift changes |
Alternative acceptor | If frameshift is preserved | If frameshift changes |
Alternative donor | If frameshift is preserved | If frameshift changes |
Multiple exon skipping | If global exon size is multiple of 3 | If frameshift changes |
Mutually exclusive exons | No | Yes |
Complex Alternative donor/Exon skipping or Alternative acceptor/Exon skipping | If frameshift is preserved | If frameshift changes |
Complex Multiple exon skipping/Alternate polyadenilation site | No | Yes |
