CMU software assembles RNA transcripts more accurately

CMU software assembles RNA transcripts more accurately 11/18/2017 07:29 PM EST Computational biologists at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have developed a more accurate computational method for reconstructing the full-length nucleotide sequences of the RNA products in cells, called transcripts, that transform information from a gene into proteins or other gene products. Their software, called Scallop, will help scientists build a more complete library of RNA transcripts and thus help scientists better understand the regulation of gene expression.
