To identify novel coding and noncoding genes represented in RNA-seq data, we studied transcript models reconstructed using Exonerate (Howald et al. 2012) and Scripture (Guttman et al. 2010), based on the high-depth HBM transcriptomic data from 16 tissues made publicly available from Illumina (ArrayExpress accession: E-MTAB-513; ENA archive: ERP000546).
