We explore Argonaute proteins' binding in human nuclear RNA and its effects on alternative splicing. Our study reveals a novel RNAi mechanism controlling gene expression through splicing, highlighting miRNAs' importance in physiology and disease. Leveraging a state-of-the-art bioinformatics platform, we show how democratizing bioinformatics with reproducible computation, interpretability, and user-friendliness accelerates discovery.
