deSALT: fast and accurate long transcriptomic read alignment with de Bruijn graph-based index

Abstract The alignment of long-read RNA sequencing reads is non-trivial due to high sequencing errors and complicated gene structures. We propose deSALT, a tailored two-pass alignment approach, which constructs graph-based alignment skeletons to infer exons and uses them to generate spliced referenc...
