Info:
Researchers used PacBio’s Iso-Seq method to sequence full-length cDNA transcripts from ripening Cabernet Savignon berries resulting in 1,5000 cultivar-specific genes. The authors discuss using transcriptome profiles for comprehensive referencing as an alternative to costly genome referencing.

The BluePippn was used to size select 1-2 kbp, 2-3 kbp, 3-6 kbp, and 5-10 kbp fractions for cDNA SMRTbell library construction for the Iso-Seq method.
