How to construct Pantranscriptome from RNA_Seq data ?

HI

I'm working in plant transcriptomics the organism I working it doesn't have any information regarding the genome and transcriptome information in public domain. Recently we sequenced RNA_seq ~20 samples from same species, my question is it possible to construct pantranscriptome from the generated denovo assemblies

Is their tools ? ,kindly suggest some suggestions as well, that I'd be great.

Yes, you can reconstruct the transcriptome using de novo assembly, the best tool for this is Trinity but be sure you have a large infrastructure for this.

Hey, my question how to reconstruct pan-transcriptome from denovo assemblies ?, not about how to generate Denovo assembly using one pipeline.

Please, correct me If I'm wrong.

you have 2 options:

  1. pull together all libraries and assembly the mix
  2. assembly each library independently and then merge all assemblies (I used CD-HIT-EST for this)
