<h4>Motivation</h4>Analyses of EST data show that alternative splicing is much more widespread than once thought. The advent of exon and tiling microarrays means that researchers now have the capacity to experimentally measure alternative splicing on a genome wide level. New methods are needed to analyze the data from these arrays.<h4>Results</h4>We present a method, finding isoforms using robust multichip analysis (FIRMA), for detecting differential alternative splicing in exon array data.
