RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 SuperTranscript: a reference for analysis and visualization of the transcriptome JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 077750 DO 10.1101/077750 A1 Anthony DK Hawkins A1 Alicia Oshlack A1 Nadia M Davidson YR 2016 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/09/27/077750.abstract AB 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.
