Abstract
Numerous high-throughput sequencing studies have focused on detecting conventionally spliced mRNAs in
RNA-seq data. However, non-standard RNAs arising through gene fusion, circularization or trans-splicing are often
neglected. We introduce a novel, unbiased algorithm to detect splice junctions from single-end cDNA sequences. In
contrast to other methods, our approach accommodates multi-junction structures. Our method compares favorably
with competing tools for conventionally spliced mRNAs and, with a gain of up to 40% of recall, systematically
outperforms them on reads with multiple splits, trans-splicing and circular products. The algorithm is integrated into our mapping tool segemehl (www.bioinf.uni-leipzig.de/Software/segemehl/).
