Rnnotator

Abstract

We report a software pipeline, called Rnnotator, that de novo assembles transcriptomes exclusively from short read sequences to faciliate function annotation and expression profiling. In this initial version, Rnnotator takes single-end, stranded RNA-Seq short reads, and outputs assembled contigs with transcription direction. With Sufficient sequencing coverage Rnnotator is capable to form full-length transcripts.
