Transcriptome Assembly
• Given partial or incomplete information about
something, use that information to make an
informed guess about the missing or unknown
data.
4
Transcriptome Assembly Types
• Genome-independent reconstruction (de novo)
– de Brujin k-mer graph
• Genome-guided reconstruction (ab initio)
– Spliced read mapping
– Exon identification
– Splice graph
• Annotation-guided reconstruction
– Use existing annotation (known transcripts)
– Focus on discovering novel transcripts
5
Previous approaches
• Genome-independent reconstruction
– Trinity(2011), Velvet(2008), TransABySS(2008)
• Genome-guided reconstruction
– Scripture(2010)
• Reports “all” transcripts
– Cufflinks(2010), IsoLasso(2011), SLIDE(2012),
CLIIQ(2012), TRIP(2012), Traph (2013)
• Minimizes set of transcripts explaining reads
• Annotation-guided reconstruction
– RABT(2011), DRUT(2011)

MaLTA
Maximum Likelihood Transcriptome Assembly
• Map the RNA-Seq reads to
genome
• Construct Splice Graph G(V,E)
Genome
– V : exons
– E: splicing events
• Candidate transcripts
– depth-first-search (DFS)
• Select candidate transcripts
– IsoEM
– greedy algorithm
9
How to select?
• Select the smallest set of candidate transcripts
• covering all transcript variants
Transcript : set of transcript variants
alternative first exon
alternative last exon
alternative 5' splice junction
exon skipping
alternative 5' splice junction
intron retention
splice junction

Greedy algorithm
1. Sort transcripts by inferred IsoEM expression
levels in decreasing order
2. Traverse transcripts
– Select transcripts if it contains novel transcript
variant
– Continue traversing until all transcript variant
are covered

Conclusions
• Novel method for transcriptome assembly
• Validated on Ion Torrent RNA-Seq Data
• Comparing with Cufflinks:
– similar number of assembled transcripts
– 2x more previously annotated transcripts
• Transcript quantification is useful for
transcript assembly  better quantification?
