I am new to working with NGS data. I want to add the information of new Sequence Reads to an existing transcriptome to possibly identify new transcripts. Does anyone have an idea of how to approach the matter? My first idea is mapping the reads to the trancriptome.

Use Tophat and Cufflinks (Trapnell et al. Nature Protocols (2012); http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/index.html) with the annotation as a guide.
I would not trust it for differential expression of isoforms, but for assembling new transcripts it works fairly well. Only use high quality reads for the assembly and be careful to filter after the final merge.Comment

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 -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
