MutSpliceDB: A database of splice sites variants with RNA‐seq based evidence on effects on splicing

Abstract

Splice site variants may lead to transcript alterations, causing exons inclusion, exclusion, truncation, or intron retention. Interpreting the consequences of a specific splice site variant is not straightforward, especially if the variant is located outside of the canonical splice sites. We developed MutSpliceDB: https://brb.nci.nih.gov/splicing, a public resource to facilitate the interpretation of splice sites variants effects on splicing based on manually reviewed RNA-seq BAM files from samples with splice site variants.
