About This Event
“A more comprehensive landscape of RNA alterations in cancer with long-read sequencing”
Abstract
RNA-Seq has revolutionized our ability to profile RNA alterations in cancer; however, short-reads cannot capture full transcript complexity. I will present analyses and evaluation of long-read RNA sequencing toward improved profiling of the cancer transcriptome including RNA processing, haplotype-specific expression, and RNA editing.
