Summary statistics of long-read RNA-Seq data.

Long read RNA-Seq data were obtained from four studies as indicated in row 1: Lee et al [22], Yang et al [21], this study, and Chappell et al [15]. The data were obtained from independent biological samples of Plasmodium falciparum indicated in row 2. Data from samples 1–10 were used to construct the transcriptomic catalog. Details of developmental stage and RNA fraction for each sample are shown in rows 3 and 4, respectively. Long-read sequencing platform is indicated in row 5. Processed read datasets obtained from each sample are indicated in row 6; datasets from PacBio sequencing have “lq” or “hq” suffixes to indicate low quality or high-quality assignment from Iso-Seq3 read processing. The dataset labels shown in this row are consistent with dataset source labels in S2 Table (columns 33, 36−38). The numbers of processed reads available for alignment in each dataset are shown in row 7. Row 8 shows the number of reads aligned to the P. falciparum 3D7 v3.2 reference genome [14] by minimap2 [84]. Row 9 shows the number of candidate non-redundant isoforms assigned by TAMA collapse [27] from the aligned reads for each dataset.
