This is a D3 SVG visualization of random alternative splice sites. The live demo can be found here, and the code repository is hosted at Gitlab. Pull requests should be made there.
For a given Reference Key and Splice Key, a random genome is generated, along with
exons, splice sites, the resulting transcriptome, and the resulting exon transcripts.
The visualization supports the following types of splicing events:
- CS: Constitutive Splicing
- ES: Exon Skipping
- AA: Alternative 3’ Acceptor Splice Site
- AD: Alternative 5’ Donor Splice Site
- IR: Intron Retention
If a custom Reference Key and Splice Key is given, then the chosen splice site
junctions are hidden from the user, and can only be accessed via a unique Answer Key.
Users can then try to guess what type of splicing occurred to generate the transcripts,
and a teacher can check their answers using the Answer Key.
Once the Answer Key is given, the splice sites are shown.
