This webinar walks participants through a complete de novo transcript discovery workflow using QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench and the Transcript Discovery tools. Using a real-world dataset from the wild strawberry Fragaria vesca — combining PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads, attendees will learn how to move from raw RNA-seq data to a newly annotated reference genome ready for downstream expression analysis.

You will learn to:

- Run the Large Gap Read Mapper to align RNA-seq reads to a genomic reference while accounting for introns

- Use the Transcript Discovery tool to predict novel…
