APPRIS P4: Where the APPRIS core modules are unable to choose a clear principal CDS and there is more than one variant with a distinct (but consecutive) CCDS identifiers, APPRIS selects the longest CCDS isoform as the principal variant.

APPRIS is a system to annotate alternatively spliced transcripts based on a range of computational methods to identify the most functionally important transcript(s) of a gene.

TSL 1: A transcript where all splice junctions are supported by at least one non-suspect mRNA.

The Transcript Support Level (TSL) is a method to highlight the well-supported and poorly-supported transcript models for users, based on the type and quality of the alignments used to annotate the transcript.
