#PacBio Iso-Seq method gets you full-length transcript isoformsโbut for extra-long (>10 kb) transcripts, you might need a boost. See how Radboud researchers used Samplix Xdrop to capture extra-long genes linked to inherited retinal disease, including the 18.9 kb USH2A gene!

Ein Blauer Drache (Glaucus atlanticus), eine leuchtend blaue Meeresnacktschnecke, schwebt in dunklem Wasser. Seine fingerartigen Fortsรคtze erstrecken sich symmetrisch vom Kรถrper. Darunter ist eine blau-weiรe, kreisfรถrmige Kolonie einer Staatsqualle zu sehen.
Eine Hawaiische Schwarzfuร-Napfschnecke (Cellana exarata) guckt mit ausgestreckten Fรผhlern aus ihrer Muschelschale heraus, die auf sandigem Boden nahe einer dunklen Felswand liegt.

An oval squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) hovers in a nighttime sea, displaying its natural iridescence. This species is among those informing new insights into molluscan evolution. The extreme diversity in the phylum Molluscaโwhich includes squids, chitons, snails, clams, and othersโhas long puzzled scientists. Sequencing previously uncharacterized genomes helps to resolve the molluscan family tree.
From octopuses to snails, the complicated molluscan family tree has now been mapped in unprecedented detail, researchers report in Science.
