Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but I wasn't able to find any threads related to this question.
While trying to annotate a fungal genome using RNA-seq, I've found that the program I use (Funannotate) will ignore/disregard/filter out transcripts on occasion, potentially because they don't look like a standard gene or for some other reason I'm not aware of. I've verified this by amplifying un-called genes from cDNA. What I would like to do is to be able to align every single transcript in a genomic region of interest to the reference genome, which sounds like something that should be possible with targeted sequencing (such as from Nanopore). However, I haven't found anything online about how to perform targeted RNA sequencing without already knowing what genes or transcripts I'm looking for.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to move forward with this?
Thanks!

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
