Oarfish: Enhanced probabilistic modeling leads to improved accuracy in long read transcriptome quantification.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Long read sequencing technology is becoming an increasingly indispensable tool in genomic and transcriptomic analysis. In transcriptomics in particular, long reads offer the possibility of sequencing full-length isoforms, which can vastly simplify the identification of novel transcripts and transcript quantification. However, despite this promise, the focus of much long read method development to date has been on transcript identification, with comparatively little attention paid to quantification. Yet, due to differences in the underlying protocols and technologies, lower throughput (i.e. fewer reads sequenced per sample compared to short read technologies), as well as technical artifacts, long read quantification remains a challenge, motivating the continued developmen
