Initial approaches for automated transcriptome building. (A) Three different approaches were applied to automatically define the transcriptome, the first one, de novo assembly, uses only the reads, the second one uses the reads and an improved version of the genome assembly and the third one is based on a publically available EST collection. See Methods for details. (B) Venn Diagram of the “gold standard” genes found in each of the three approaches.
