Identify variants with effect on splicing

This tool will analyze a variant track to determine whether the variants fall within potential splice sites. First select your variant track (figure 25.3) followed by a transcript track (see figure 25.4). As part of the dialog you can choose to exclude all variants that do not fall within a splice site.

If a variant falls within two base pairs of an intron-exon boundary, it will be annotated as a possible splice site disruption (see figure 25.5).
