 Alternative Splicing DB (ASDB) - Main Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The current ASDB format was established without explicit funding for this project and should be viewed as an early prototype rather than a completed project.
When such funding is obtained we plan to greatly expand and update splicing information by curating information from literature and sequence database sources, and to improve tools to allow searching for all products of alternative splicing produced in a particular tissue or a given organism, or all variants generated by a particular transcript.
The other kinds of ASDB records, originating from the SWISS-PROT entries with the "varsplic" field in the feature table, usually describe the proteins that are not part of any cluster.

 Asia: Stronger recovery than expected, AsDB Says
As a result, the Manila-based AsDB says, Asia's developing countries are expected to post GDP growth of 5.5 percent this year, up from 2.3 percent in 1998.
The AsDB says the recovery is being led by South Korea, which together with Indonesia and Thailand were among the worst hit by the economic crisis that broke out in 1997.
Its earlier estimate for this year was zero growth for the country, which the AsDB report said "started to show some signs of recovery in the beginning of 1999".

 DEVELOPMENT-ASIA: AsDB Chants New Mantra at Annual Meet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
According to the AsDB, this concern stems from the fact that close to 900 million of the world's poor live in Asia and the Pacific, and nearly one in three Asians is poor.
But critics, mainly from among social and environmental activist groups, argue while the bank is trying to put on a more 'human' face and show concern for the poor, its policies to promote the privatisation of key sectors such as health, education and water continue to wreak havoc with the lives of millions of people.
Included in the AsDB's plans for Thailand and the region are loans for the privatisation of the health and education sectors.

Recovery has turned out to be more robust than expected, the AsDB said, with the five most affected economies staging an impressive turnaround by growing at an average 6.4 percent in 1999 after a 7.7 percent decline the year before.
Thai Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai, in his keynote address at the AsDB meeting, called the 1997 crisis a ''wake-up call'' for countries and has brought home the realisation that what is needed is not high growth but quality growth that helps reduce disparities among sectors in the society.

It blames the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (AsDB) for supporting this regional power initiative, although a senior Bank economist told a recent seminar here that there is ''misinformation'' about what critics call a 'Mekong power grid'.
The AsDB would not support dam construction ''if there is a negative impact on a neighbouring country,'' he added.
However, he noted, the AsDB is keen on having the GMS countries agree to trade power across national boundaries, which may have been construed as a grand plan to build dams when it is but an accord to trade electricity.

It was created by Inna Dubchak, Igor Dralyuk, and Manfred Zorn of NERSC's Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics, in collaboration with M.S. Gelfand of the Institute of Protein Research at the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Alternative splicing in humans is not rare-almost a third of human genes are subject to it.
The mechanism of alternative splicing is not well understood; relative concentrations of antagonistic "splicing factors," including small proteins in the cell nucleus, are an important factor.

The opposing view consisted of those that believed the weapons of peace were more effective and focused on exploration and diplomacy as the salvation of the status quo.
With three functioning starships unable to be used conventionally, the ASDB assumed stewardship of the vessels and used their hulls and mostly-functioning equipment to serve as test beds for everything from EMH systems to new torpedo loading arms.
The Norway Class had officially been disbanded and shelved, their hulls stripped of name and numbers as they were removed from active service and brought back to Mars.
