Identification and quantification of transposable element transcripts using Long-Read RNA-seq in Drosophila germline tissues by Rebollo, Rita, Gerenton, Pierre, Cumunel, Eric, Mary, Arnaud, Sabot, François, Burlet, Nelly, Gillet, Benjamin, Hughes, Sandrine, S. Oliveira, Daniel, Goubert, Clément, Fablet, Marie, Vieira, Cristina, Lacroix, Vincent

“…Methods to identify and quantify TE transcription have mostly relied on short RNA-seq reads to estimate TE expression at the family level while using specific algorithms to discriminate copy-specific transcription. However, assigning short reads to their correct genomic location, and genomic feature is not trivial. …”
