Size distribution of the assembled transcripts (bp) during the first stage in the Transcripts assembly and clustering method. The mentioned software managed to assemble unmapped reads into a set of assembled transcripts, ranging from 100 bp to more than 1000 bp. A great number of the generated assembled transcripts resided in the group size of 200-300 bp. All 18 transcriptomic data samples were colour-coded differently, as seen in the legend
