Abstract

We present a new algorithm for enumerating bubbles with length constraints in directed graphs. This problem arises in transcriptomics, where the question is to identify all alternative splicing events present in a sample of mRNAs sequenced by RNA-seq. This is the first polynomial-delay algorithm for this problem and we show that in practice, it is faster than previous approaches. This enables us to deal with larger instances and therefore to discover novel alternative splicing events, especially long ones, that were previously overseen using existing methods.
