multiStringTie: a multi-sample transcriptome assembler
Introduction
I am developing a multi-sample assembler upon StringTie, the state-of-the-art transcriptome assembler, aiming to construct a more precise gene catalog by taking advantage of the complementarity and redundancy of multiple samples. multiStringTie infers transcripts from “universal splicing graphs”, multi-samplewise-refined directed splicing graphs representing gene loci, to achieve better sensitivity-precision tradeoff.
