[Genome] search transcripts with alternative splicing or polyadenylation

[Archana Thakkapallayil]

Hello Hang Wang,

You can get this information from the 'Alt Events' track under 'Genes 
and Gene Prediction Tracks' and the 'Poly(A)' track under the 'mRNA and 
EST tracks', on the recent Human assembly. To get to this, first open 
the genome browser to the Human Assembly and then enter the name of the 
gene into the position/serach box. Then turn on the 'Alt Events' and the 
'Poly(A)' track on the browser.

You could read more about this track by clicking the "mini-button" to 
the left of these track in the main Genome Browser display (the tall, 
gray or blue box on the very far left of the display), or by clicking 
the link directly above the track control (the drop-down box that 
controls the visibility of the track). Information on the polyA tail 
insertion can also be obtained from the 'Human mRNAs' track, by turning 
on this track and then checking the box in the track settings page that 
says:

Draw a vertical green line where query has a polyA tail insertion

More information on the poly-A tail coloring is here:

I hope that this helps you. If you have further questions please do not 
hesitate to contact us again.

Regards,

Archana
