It has raised interest in the last few decades because of its significant role in gene diversification, as well as in cancer. The study of the evolution of transcripts across a set of homologous genes provides additional information on gene evolution, such as the identification of conserved isoforms, the history of isoform gains and losses along gene phylogenies, and the evolution of alternative splicing. We will present a unified view of transcript phylogeny reconstruction problems, and we will describe current challenges and existing solutions, including a set of methods and a database we have developed to study transcript evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong> A\u00efda Ouangraoua (Ph.D. in Computer Science, 2007, Universit\u00e9 de Bordeaux, France) is a professor at Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada, where she holds the Canada Research Chair in Computational and Biological Complexity.
