RISER classifies RNA species from direct RNA nanopore signals, without the need for basecalling or a reference, and communicates with the sequencing hardware in real-time to enact in silico targeted RNA sequencing. We illustrate RISER for the enrichment and depletion of coding and non-coding RNA, demonstrating a 3.4-3.6x enrichment and 6.2-6.7x depletion of non-coding RNA in live sequencing experiments.Competing Interest StatementA.S. has received funds from Oxford Nanopore Technologies for travel and accommodation to speak at the Oxford Nanopore Technologies conference London Calling 2022.
