Abstract excerpt
Motivation: The branchpoint element is required for the first lariat-forming reaction in splicing. However current catalogues of human branchpoints remain incomplete due to the difficulty in experimentally identifying these splicing elements. To address this limitation, we have developed a machine-learning algorithm-branchpointer-to identify branchpoint elements solely from gene annotations and genomic sequence....
