👩🔬📢 LongTREC in action: Reflections from Our Project Manager
Clara Rodriguez, Project Manager of LongTREC, looks back on four years managing the network: her first MSCA Doctoral Network and an experience she describes as truly wonderful. When I joined LongTREC, I was stepping into my first MSCA Doctoral Network as Project Manager. Managing a European project of this kind means keeping many pieces moving […]
LongTREC presents: The promise of long-read RNA-seq: reducing bias in analyses of allele imbalance
LongTREC presents: The promise of long-read RNA-seq: reducing bias in analyses of allele imbalance Nadja Nolte, Marko Petek, Pablo Angulo Lara, Logan Mulroney, Francesco Nicassio, Fabio Marroni, Lauren McIntyre We inherit two copies of most genes, one from each parent, and these copies (alleles) are not always equally active. Measuring this “allelic imbalance” helps reveal […]

🧬 Unlocking Long-Read Transcriptomics: Demystifying Long-Read RNA-Seq Analysis with FLAIR
Demystifying Long-Read RNA-Seq Analysis with FLAIR in OmicsBox Fabian Jetzinger, Doctoral Candidate at BioBam Bioinformatics, explains how to reconstruct, curate and quantify transcriptomes with FLAIR within OmicsBox 3.5. Long-read sequencing technologies such as PacBio and Oxford Nanopore are reshaping transcriptomics by revealing full-length isoforms and complex splicing events. But how can researchers distinguish true transcripts […]
