ASPic is a novel method to predict the exon-intron structure of a gene that is optimally compatible to a set of transcript sequences (such as mRNAs and/or ESTs), while ASPicDB is a database designed to provide access to reliable annotations of the alternative splicing pattern of human genes, obtained by ASPic algorithm, and to the functional annotation of predicted isoforms.
