Long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNA-seq) produces detailed information about full-length transcripts, including novel and sample-specific isoforms. Furthermore, there is an opportunity to call variants directly from lrRNA-seq data. However, most state-of-the-art variant callers have been developed for genomic DNA. Here, there are two objectives: first, we perform a mini-benchmark on GATK, DeepVariant, Clair3, and NanoCaller primarily on PacBio Iso-Seq, data, but also on Nanopore and Illumina RNA-seq data; second, we propose a pipeline to process spliced-alignment files, making them suitable for variant calling with DNA-based callers. With such manipulations, high calling performance can be achieved using DeepVariant on Iso-seq data. |
