The Atlas of Curated Splicing Regulators in Humans (IARA) is an initiative of the research group led by Professor Roberto Hirochi Herai, Researcher of the Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences, at the School of Medicine of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná/PUCPR (Curitiba, Brazil).
The IARA was created due to the need to gather information about which factors are involved in the process of regulating the splicing mechanism in human, with a view to obtaining cured and updated data.
