now is… you take the transcriptome, you blow it up into pieces and then you try to figure out how they all go back together again… If you think about it, it’s kind of a crazy way to do things” Michael Synder Professor and Chair of Genetics Stanford University Tal Nawy, End to end RNA Sequencing, Nature Methods, v10, n10, Dec . 2013, p1144–1145 Ian Korf (2013) Genomics: the state of the art in RNA-seq analysis, Nature Methods, Nov 26;10(12):1165-6. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.2735.
ability to detect longer isoforms will be determined by the method that you use. Size selection is needed because shorter transcripts: • PCR amplify better • Load preferentially in ZMWs during sequencing
sequence full-length transcripts up to 10 kb • Use of Kapa HiFi DNA Polymerase and size-selection bins. • Considerations • Know your tissue and transcript content! • mRNA trace must show transcripts larger than 6 kb.
When to Use None ONLY 1-1.5 kb • Least expensive • Simplest protocol • Better than short-read seq. for isoform characterization • Limited transcript size range • If transcripts <1.5 kb are desired • Time & resource limited Manual Agarose Gel 1 to 6 kb • Long transcripts • Long insert-size range • Uses generally accessible lab methods. • More time & resource intensive. • Unable to generate longest transcripts • Size bins not as precise • Chance of contamination between samples on the same gel • Need transcripts >1.5 kb • Cannot access BluePippin System BluePippin™ System 1 to 10 kb • Longest transcripts • Largest insert-size range • Least chance of cross contamination between samples • Best representation of isoforms in your sample • Most time & resource intensive. • 4 libraries per sample • Requires BluePippin System • When the best understanding of the transcriptome is desired.

expected full-length reads/cell differs depending on transcript size range. • Detect and Remove Artificial Chimeras – Artificial concatemers are rare (~0.2%) and avoidable by increasing SMRT® adapter concentration. – PCR chimeras are difficult to completely avoid (~3%) but can be detected computationally (if reference genome available). – However, there are also biological chimeras. 25

Same “isoform hit” criteria – But does not require each read to be fully aligned – Each non-FL read can belong to multiple clusters Chin et al., Nonhybrid, finished microbial genome assemblies from long-read SMRT sequencing data, Nature Methods (2013)
for isoform identification to improve accuracy – Better read classification (full-length vs. non-full-length, chimeric vs. non-chimeric) – Incorporation of non-full-length reads to predict consensus isoforms and for Quiver polishing • Usability enhancements within SMRT Portal UI supporting simplified analysis setup – Support for custom primers for targeted Iso-Seq projects – UI parameters tuning options for Quiver – Human-readable annotations for predicted consensus isoforms – Support for cDNA samples with no polyA tails • Performance enhancements – Faster job execution for analysis using ICE and polish (up to 3x) – Less memory usage (up to 8x) (*Note: Performance not guaranteed for custom primers) 35 https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/cDNA_primer/wiki
