According to its manual, it's only for genome assembly. Based on my experience, the best transcriptome assembler is rnaSPAdes if you have Nanopore + Illumina reads, and Trinity if you have only Illumina reads.

I just wanted to be sure if MaSuRCA is only a genome assembler. I checked the manual and its paper as well. Thanks very much for your reply.
