New paper from my group led by @alexyfyf.bsky.social. We started with simple questions: what is the best way to do differential analysis with long-read RNA-seq without a reference genome? and are long-reads fulfilling their promise of accurate transcript reconstruction compared to short-read?

Alex Yan@alexyfyf.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I'm so glad to share that my paper from @nadia-davidson.bsky.social lab on the evaluation of long-read de novo transcriptome assembly is finally online. If you’re doing reference-free long-read RNA-seq, this one’s for you 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

📖 Big news! We just released the first five chapters of our new book, Hello Data Science. It is a fully open-access resource written for beginners. Please help us spread the word! A few points about the book are below 👇 🔗 www.hellodata.science #rstats #datascience #tidyverse
