Abstract: Long-read sequencing technologies demonstrate high potential for de novo discovery of complex transcript isoforms, but high error rates pose a significant challenge. Existing error correction methods rely on clustering reads based on isoform-level alignment and cannot be efficiently scaled. We propose a new method, I-CONVEX, that performs fast, alignment-free isoform clustering with almost linear computational complexity, and leads to better consensus accuracy on simulated, synthetic, and real datasets.
