When transcript filtering is applied to GTF, the selected transcripts should also be used for transcriptome analyses

[kkuret]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

• Consolidate transcript filtering with the transcriptome annotation: same set of transcripts used for GTF filtering to be used for transcriptome analyses

Describe the solution you'd like

1. When transcript filtering is applied to GTF, the selected transcripts should also be used for trancriptome mapping instead of 'longest transcript'

2. Need to modify 'find longest transcript' in general to select transcripts for all genes, not just protein coding.

3. The gtf file poduced by find longest transcript starts with 2 instead of 1.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• potentially the filtering module could be combined with the longest transcript module assignment
