Long-Read Transcriptome Complexity and Cell-Type Regulatory Signatures in ENCODE4
summary
ENCODE4 sequences 216 long‑read RNA libraries (about 1 billion CCS reads) across 60 human and mouse samples and reports >100,000 full‑length transcripts with roughly one third novel, detecting 94.4% of GENCODE protein‑coding genes and 42.6% of known coding transcripts. Data processing uses Minimap, TranscriptClean, TALON and peak‑based end correction LAPA, then groups isoforms by CERBERUS triplets (TSS, intron chain, TES) and visualizes regulatory bias with SWAN; main‑select isoforms often differ from major isoforms and only ~40% of genes share the same isoform‑mode in human and mouse.
