The Au lab developed a computational method that combines short- and long- RNA sequencing reads to study gene isoforms
Professor Kin Fai Au and his lab members Xiaoyu Cai, Qi Gao, Haoran Li, Puwen Tan, Dingjie Wang, and Yunhao Wang, with partners from Ohio State University, developed a new software that improves the accuracy of the quantification of gene isoforms for complex genes. Their software, called miniQuant, ranks genes with the uncertainty of isoform quantification. It integrates the complementary strengths of long reads and short reads of RNA sequencing data with optimal combinations in a gene- and data-specific manner to achieve more accurate isoform quantification. These findings are published in Nature Biotechnology.
