A dual transcript-discovery approach to improve the delimitation of gene features from RNA-seq data in the chicken model

The sequence of the chicken genome, like several other draft genome sequences, is presently not fully covered. Gaps, contigs assigned with low confidence and uncharacterized chromosomes result in gene fragmentation and imprecise gene annotation. Transcript abundance estimation from RNA sequencing (R...
