Abstract: The aim of our project is to investigate the feasibility of annotating lncRNAs without a reference genome. In order to estimate the accuracy of the annotations, we selected a species (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) having both a reference genome and RNA-Seq data publicly available. First, we obtained a transcriptome de novo assembly, using the software Trinity. We then used two approaches to annotate lncRNAs via FEELnc: i) we obtained a list of putative lncRNAs by filtering the de novo transcripts using several criteria and ii) we used a machine learning method fed with already annotated lncRNAs. Finally, we compared the results from both methods between them and also to the lncRNAs set obtained mapping directly to a reference genome, which is the standard protocol. According to our results, it would be possible to annotate the lncRNAs without a reference genome. There's a difference in the amount of annotated lncRNAs between our two sets of only 1,03%, and we have found 41,6% of the lncRNAs annotated using a reference genome in the most recent paper available for S. purpuratus.
