  2. Alternative Splicing Data Sources are Large and Growing Curated databases SWISS-PROT and RefSeq both support annotation of experimentally supported alternative splicing cDNA Sequencing Projects RIKEN sequenced >21000 full length mouse cDNAs Many other projects underway (human, fly, plants,…) Shinagawa et al.
