New in Nature Communications from #LongTREC researchers @fabianjetzinger.bsky.social , Stefan Götz & @anaconesa.bsky.social: how should biological replicates be handled when reconstructing transcriptomes? Open access and must-read! 🧬

🎉 New paper from our lab in Nature Comms!
We compare 2 strategies—Join & Call vs Call & Join—across PacBio and ONT data, tissues, and 6 lrRNAseq transcript reconstruction tools. Take away:
👉Join & Call 4 novel isoforms
👉Call & Join 4 2 obtain highly replicated signals.

Handling biological replicates in long-read RNA sequencing data by joining or not joining - Nature Communications
When combining long-read RNA sequencing data from multiple samples, transcripts can be identified either before or after merging. This study shows that neither approach is universally optimal and prov...

The promise of long-read RNA-seq: reducing bias in analyses of allele imbalance
Abstract. Inaccurate allele and gene expression counts due to map bias and genome ambiguity lead to high false positive and false negative rates in studies
