Abstract

Recent developments in single-cell RNA sequencing techniques (scRNASeq) have made large quantities of sequenced data available across numerous species and tissues. Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA introns varies between tissues and even between cell-types and can be altered in disease. The study of novel AS, using standard RNASeq data, has been extensively studied for many years, while similar work on scRNASeq data has been scarce, despite its potential to offer a broader insight into cell-type specific processes. In this paper, we propose a novel pipeline that uses fortuna, a method that efficiently classifies and quantifies novel AS events, to process scRNASeq samples. Due to its short lifespan, high number of progeny, low maintenance cost, and intricate alternative splicing patterns similar in complexity to those of mammals, Drosophila Melanogaster (fruit fly) is a species of particular interest to researchers. Therefore, we experimentally evaluate our pipeline on real-world Drosophila single-cell data samples from the Fly Cell Atlas.
