TY - JOUR T1 - SuperTranscript: a reference for analysis and visualization of the transcriptome JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/077750 SP - 077750 AU - Anthony DK Hawkins AU - Alicia Oshlack AU - Nadia M Davidson Y1 - 2016/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/09/27/077750.abstract N2 - 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. ER -
