Isocall enables scalable transcript identification from long-read RNA-sequencing data

Long-read RNA sequencing directly resolves the full structures of RNA transcripts. Advances in throughput now enable the generation of deeply sequenced cohorts of hundreds of samples, making joint transcript discovery across large datasets possible. However, existing transcript identification methods were designed for...

SALRR: Scalable Analysis of Long-Read RNA-Seq Enables Comprehensive Transcriptome Profiling in Human Brain

Isoform-resolved transcriptomics is fundamental to decoding the molecular complexity of the human brain, yet population-scale long-read RNA sequencing has remained inaccessible due to labor-intensive library preparation, sensitivity to RNA degradation in postmortem tissue, and the absence of integrated, reproducible an...
