Dear friends,

I need to get the best splicing variant of all soybean transcripts. How can I do that? Can I say that the longest is the "best splicing variant"?

Thanks

No, why would that be the best one?
Another method would be to select the most abundantly expressed...

What do you mean by best? Would it be the most highly expressed variant? It really comes down to what question you are trying to answer with your data set.

Yep, I don't even think the question makes any sense. "best splicing variant"? That has no meaning.
