Quantifying the benefit offered by transcript assembly with Scallop-LR on single-molecule long reads

Abstract Single-molecule long-read sequencing has been used to improve mRNA isoform identification. However, not all single-molecule long reads represent full transcripts due to incomplete cDNA synthesis and sequencing length limits. This drives a need for long-read transcript assembly. By adding lo...
