We developed Bookend, a package for transcript assembly that incorporates data from different RNA-seq techniques, with a focus on identifying and utilizing RNA 5′ and 3′ ends. We demonstrate that correct identification of transcript start and end sites is essential for precise full-length transcript assembly. Utilization of end-labeled reads present in full-length single-cell RNA-seq datasets dramatically improves the precision of transcript assembly in single cells. Finally, we show that hybrid assembly across short-read, long-read, and end-capture RNA-seq datasets from Arabidopsis thaliana, as well as meta-assembly of RNA-seq from single mouse embryonic stem cells, can produce reference-quality end-to-end transcript annotations.
