Alternative splicing is a key mechanism that shapes neuronal transcriptomes, helping to define neuronal identity and modulate function. Here, we present an atlas of alternative splicing across the nervous system of Caenorhabditis elegans. Our analysis identifies novel alternative splicing in key neuronal genes such as unc-40/DCC and sax-3/ROBO. Globally, we delineate patterns of differential alternative splicing in almost 2,000 genes, and estimate that a quarter of neuronal genes undergo differential splicing. We introduce a web interface for examination of splicing patterns across neuron types. We explore the relationship between neuron type and splicing patterns, and between splicing patterns and differential gene expression. We identify RNA features that correlate with differential alternative splicing, and describe the enrichment of microexons. Finally, we compute a splicing regulatory network that can be used to generate hypotheses on the regulation and targets of alternative splicing in neurons.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
