Hi Yu Han,
If you obtain annotations to other strains/haplotypes in your pangenome, you can add them into the graph alongside the reference transcripts. If your pangenome expresses the strains/haplotypes as reference sequences (using the RS tag or P lines in the GFA), then you can provide the annotations just like the reference annotations. If your pangenome expresses the strains/haplotypes as haplotypes (W lines without an RS tag), then you should use --use-hap-ref
in vg rna
or --hap-tx-gff
in vg autoindex.
Once the spliced pangenome graph is constructed, all downstream analyses are the same as if projecting reference transcripts onto haplotypes.
Thanks for your development of this useful tool!
I have a question about pantranscriptome. I have several assembled and annotated genomes. In pangenome analysis, the annotated gene could be clustered into core and uncore genes and some uncore gene specificly presented in un-backbone genome. As I understand it, vg rna can only quantify the expression of different spliced gene based the backbone genome annotation. If a uncore gene not present in this annotation file, how to use vg rna function to quantify the expression level of it?
Thanks, Yu Han
