[ensembl-dev] what is a canonical transcript?

[Michael Yourshaw]

"The canonical transcript is defined as either the longest CDS, if the gene has translated transcripts, or the longest cDNA. Should a transcript already regarded as canonical not be selected using the above rules, there is support for storing this information in the Ensembl database.”  Nucl. Acids Res. (2009) 37 (suppl 1): D690-D697. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkn828
