Nanopore Guided Annotation of Transcriptome Architectures.

ABSTRACT: High-resolution annotations of transcriptomes from all domains of life are essential for many sequencing-based RNA analyses, including Nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS), which would otherwise be hindered by misalignments and other analysis artefacts. DRS allows the capture and full-length sequencing of native RNAs, without recoding or amplification bias, and resulting data may be interrogated to define the identity and location of chemically modified ribonucleotides, as well as the length of poly(A) tails on individual RNA molecules. Existing software solutions for generating high-resolution transcriptome annotations are poorly suited to small gene dense organisms such as viruses due to the challenge of identifying distinct transcript isoforms where alternative splicing and overlapping
