Common errors in de novo supertranscriptome assemblies. Redundant transcripts occur when multiple copies of the same transcripts are generated. Incomplete supertranscripts occurs when one or more exons are fully or partially missing either at one side or both side of assembled contigs. Fragmented supertranscripts correspond to two or more contigs relating to different regions of a supertranscript. False chimeras are contigs generated as a result of erroneous fusion of two or more full or partial supertranscripts. Local mis-assemblies are characterized as missing sequences, unsupported insertions, inversions and/or translocations in the contigs
