Functional enrichment of alternative splicing events with NEASE reveals insights into tissue identity and diseases

Abstract Alternative splicing (AS) is an important aspect of gene regulation. Nevertheless, its role in molecular processes and pathobiology is far from understood. A roadblock is that tools for the functional analysis of AS-set events are lacking. To mitigate this, we developed NEASE, a tool integr...
