What is the N50 of your 15X assembly?
I would suggest using BWA or Bowtie2 to map your reads against your transcriptome. See what percent map.
Of course, depending on how "allo" your three sub-genomes are, there could be complexities there.

I would shred the transcriptome into pieces (~300bp or so) and map them to the genome, then calculate coverage.

Blat of transcriptome to genome gave 70% hits! reality?
I work on an auto-allo hexaploid plant species with a genome size estimated to be about 2.1 Gb. We have an excellent transcriptome assembly from four different experiments that produced about 600,000 contigs with an N50 of over 1600 bases and a CEGMA run showed 98% representation at full length and 100% representation at partial. We also have PE100 genomic sequence data from 4 different libraries from 300-400 bases in size that gives us about 15X coverage (based on kmer representation analysis). For kicks, I used BLAT to see how many genomic fragments would map to my assembled transcriptome, and got (what to me seems) a surprising number of hits. Well over 70% of the genomic fragments had hits to the transcriptome. Is this likely real, or is there something about the BLAT program that would produce a high number of spurious hits? I counted only the unique hits, so this isn't due to genomic fragments having multiple hits to the transcriptome. Thoughts? Is there a better way to determine the percentage of the genome represented in my transcriptome?Tags: None

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...-

Sequencing mRNA provides a snapshot of cellular activity, allowing researchers to study the dynamics of cellular processes, compare gene expression across different tissue types, and gain insights into the mechanisms of complex diseases. “mRNA’s central role in the dogma of molecular biology makes it a logical and relevant focus for transcriptomic studies,” stated Sebastian Aguilar Pierlé, Ph.D., Application Development Lead at Inorevia. “One of the major hurdles for...-
