Outline of Final Research Achievements

3rd generation sequences promotes not only genome sequencing but also transcript analysis. Iso-seq analysis using PacBio are very useful method for reading full length cDNA and detecting alternative splicing. In this analysis, we carried out Iso-seq analysis for melon fruits. We used three different methods for construction of full length cDNA library. The libraries were sequenced by PacBio sequel and Nanopore MinION. Isoforms were mapped on the reference genome of melon and compared them. PacBio and Nanopore isoforms fell into ~ 6,500 and 12,000 loci respectively. 509 loci of them were located at intergenic region and predicted novel loci.
