1 Oases
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/oases/
1. Oases is a de novo transcriptome assembler designed to produce transcripts from short read sequencing technologies, such as Illumina, SOLiD, or 454 in the absence of any genomic assembly. 2. Oases uploads a preliminary assembly produced by Velvet, and clusters the contigs into small groups, called loci. 3. It then exploits the paired-end read and long read information, when available, to construct transcript isoforms.

2 PALMA
http://www.fml.tuebingen.mpg.de/raetsch/suppl/palma
1. A novel approach based on large margin learning that combines accurate splice site predictions with common sequence alignment techniques. 2. By solving a convex optimization problem, algorithm called PALMA tunes the parameters of the model such that true alignments score higher than other alignments. 3. It identifies the intron boundaries as well as boundaries of the optimal local alignment. 4. This method also demonstrates robustness to mutations, insertions and deletions, retaining accuracy even at high noise levels.

6 Cufflinks
http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/
1. It assembles transcripts and estimates their abundances in RNA-Seq samples. It accepts aligned RNA-Seq reads and assembles the alignments into a parsimonious set of transcripts. 2. Cufflinks then estimates the relative abundances of these transcripts based on how many reads support each one. 3. Cufflinks implements a constructive proof of Dilworth's Theorem by constructing a covering relation on the read alignments, and finding a minimum path cover on the directed acyclic graph for the relation. Works well with unpaired RNA-Seq reads.

9 FreClu - FREquencing based de Novo short read CLUstering
http://mlab.cb.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~quwei/DeNovoShortReadClustering/
1. Novel, massively parallel sequencing technologies provide a highly detailed structure of transcriptome and genome by yielding deep coverage of short reads, though their utility is interfered due to a considerable sequencing quality problem and short length of reads. 2. Sequencing-error trimming in short reads is therefore a vital process which could improve the successful rate of reference mapping as well as polymorphorism detection. 3. This algorithm organizes erroneous short sequences, originating in a single abundant sequence into a tree structure such that each child sequence is considered to be derived stochastically from its more abundant parent sequence because of sequencing errors.
