"longest transcript of the gene" #1

Open fifdick opened 5 years ago

fifdick commented 5 years ago

Hey I just stumbled upon your tool and paper. I read the README and saw you mentioned that: "It operates on the cDNA of the longest isoformic protein-coding transcript of a gene" Why is that? What is the computational reason for this necessity? Im asking because im interested in predicting possible altered sub-cellular localization of different transcript isoforms (only protein coding obviously) that belong to one gene.

The only reason is not computational but rather a compromise given splicing efficiency of a gene is not known at the time of doing this project. Otherwise I would have taken alternative splicing into account, which would obviously improve the biological validity of this model.
