As a Bioinformatics Ph.D student working on Alternative Splicing, I've been waiting for something like this. Glad to know that the wait is going to be over next month.
A question - has any such study already been published for Humans and Mice? As far as I know, there are several Bioinformatics papers which say that the conservation of alternative splicing events between Humans and Mice is pretty low, in the 10%-20% range. On the other hand, Michael Tress of the ENCODE consortium said (at the AS-SIG in the ISMB/ECCB 2007 conference) that they found much higher conservation, over 50%.
Last but not the least, I want to thank you for your previous blog on Alternative Splicing, which has been very useful for me.
