Protocol for the identification of homologous alternative splicing events presented in this work. Our procedure is divided in the four steps shown in the figure: a BLAST search of an isoforms database with each isoform of the target AS event, obtention of a list of candidate events, scoring of the candidates with a set of NN and final filtering of the accepted candidates. A more detailed description is provided in the text of the article. In the article we compare the performance of our method with that of a control method (see Methods section) which is an extension of a previously described protocol to find conserved AS events between species [45].
