Abstract

Since the discovery of RNA splicing and its role in gene expression, researchers have sought a set of rules, an algorithm or a computational model that could predict the splice isoforms, and their frequencies, produced from any transcribed gene in a specific cellular context. Over the past 30 years, these models have evolved from simple position weight matrices to deep-learning models capable of integrating sequence data across vast genomic distances. Most recently, new model architectures are moving the field closer to context-specific alternative splicing predictions, and advances in sequencing technologies are expanding the type of data that can be used to inform and interpret such models. Together, these developments are driving improved understanding of splicing regulatory mechanisms and emerging applications of the splicing code to the rational design of RNA- and splicing-based therapeutics.
