Isoform discovery by targeted cloning, 'deep-well' pooling and parallel sequencing
The complete set of coding sequences, including all splice isoforms, is not known for any metazoan organism. Combination of a normalized pooling scheme and a new assembly algorithm with 454 sequencing yields a methodological pipeline for isoform discovery. The validated pipeline may now be applied genome-wide.
