Info:
Scientists researching muscular disorders present a method for studying gene expression of large RNA transcripts. The PacBio Iso-Seq method allows the sequencing of large transcripts for the identification of isoforms and alternative splicing. However, it has not been amenable to accurate quantitation of expression. Here the scientists combine Iso-Seq with PacBio’s HiFi high consensus accuracy method to show differential gene expression of large transcripts in muscles as well as identify and quantitate previously unannotated ones.
BluePippin was used to size select 5-10kb cDNA fragments for PacBio Iso-Seq library construction, and a second size selection step to remove unligated adapters.
