%0 Journal Article %A Anthony DK Hawkins %A Alicia Oshlack %A Nadia M Davidson %T SuperTranscript: a reference for analysis and visualization of the transcriptome %D 2016 %R 10.1101/077750 %J bioRxiv %P 077750 %X Transcriptomes are tremendously diverse and highly dynamic; visualizing and analysing this complexity is a major challenge. Here we present superTranscript, a single linear representation for each gene. SuperTranscripts contain all unique exonic sequence, built from any combination of transcripts, including reference assemblies, de novo assemblies and long-read sequencing. Our approach enables visualization of transcript structure and provides increased power to detect differential isoform usage. %U https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/09/27/077750.full.pdf
