predicting Alternative splicing

I want to predict alternatively spliced exons in human genome. So which dataset i choose i.e RNA seq or Whole exome sequencing. Can anyone tell me.

rna-seq genome alignment chip-seq

RNA-Seq. Exome sequencing is sequencing of DNA and not RNA.

Using RNA-seq (or exome) data is not a prediction, it is searching for alt-spliced exons. As far as I know there is no reliable method for predicting alt-splicing without RNA data.

Alt-splicing is also tissue and developmental time point dependent so which dataset you use will affect which splice sites you see.
