Deskripsi

Silvia Liu et al. present LoopSeq, a synthetic long-read sequencing method that generates accurate long-read transcriptome data from short Illumina reads. As an example of possible applications, they use LoopSeq to investigate differential isoform expression, isoform-specific single nucleotide variants, and potential fusion genes in multiple stages of colon cancer. Altogether, LoopSeq is a valuable method for analyzing complex transcriptomes and investigating gene expression at the isoform level.
