Abstract

RNA-seq using long-read sequencing, such as nanopore and SMRT (Single Molecule, Real-Time) sequencing, enabled the identification of the full-length structure of RNA molecules. Several tools for long-read RNA-seq were developed recently. In this section, we introduce an analytical pipeline of long-read RNA-seq for isoform identification and the estimation of expression levels using minimap2, TranscriptClean, and TALON. We applied this pipeline to the public direct RNA-seq data of the HAP1 and HEK293 cell lines to identify transcript isoforms which can be detected only using long-read RNA-seq data.

Keywords: Alternative splicing; Direct RNA sequencing; Expression estimation; Long-read sequencing; Transcript isoform.
