De Novo Transcriptome Assembly
De novo transcriptome assembly reconstructs full-length messenger RNA sequences directly from sequencing reads without requiring a reference genome. Pioneered by Regev, Haas, and colleagues, this pipeline enables transcript discovery in non-model organisms and detection of novel isoforms, fusion genes, and splice variants.
