Alternative splicing (AS) promotes transcriptome and proteome diversity in plants, which influences growth and development, and host responses to stress. Advancements in next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and computational biology tools have allowed biologists to investigate AS landscapes on a genome-wide scale in several plant species. Furthermore, the development of Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) as a model system for grasses has facilitated comparative studies of AS within the Poaceae. These analyses revealed a plethora of genes in several biological processes that are alternatively spliced and identified conserved AS patterns among monocot and dicot plants. In this chapter, using a Brachypodium-virus pathosystem as a research template, we provide an overview of genomic and bioinformatic tools that can be used to investigate constitutive and alternative splicing in plants.
