Finding unannotated transcribed regions

Finding unannotated transcribed regions can be useful in several different genomics applications. One of the main use cases is identifying novel genes. Unannotated transcribed regions may represent novel genes that have not been previously identified.

By identifying these regions, researchers can gain a better understanding of the genome and potentially discover new biological pathways or proteins. Another use case is identifying alternative splicing events, where different exons are used to create different protein products. Identifying these events can provide insight into how the genome is regulated and how different proteins are produced from the same gene. Additionally, unannotated transcribed regions may include untranslated RNAs (UTRs), lncRNAs, miRNAs, and other types of non-coding RNAs, which can provide a more complete understanding of the functional elements in the genome and characterize the non-coding genome. Lastly, unannotated...
