Recent advances in long-read transcriptome sequencing enable high-throughput profiling of full-length RNA isoforms in bulk, single-cell, and single-nucleus samples. However, long-read datasets typically contain a mixture of complete and partial transcripts, leading to pervasive ambiguity in read-to-isoform assignment and complicating accurate isoform identification and quantification, particularly in the absence of reliable reference annotations. These challenges are further amplified in single-cell and single-nucleus samples, where coverage is sparse and transcriptional heterogeneity is high. Here, we present the Long Read Alignment Assembler (LRAA), a unified and versatile computational framework for isoform identification and quantification from long-read RNA sequencing data across bulk, single-cell, and single-nucleus transcriptomic samples. LRAA combines splice-graph based structural modeling with expectation maximization based optimization to probabilistically resolve ambiguous read assignments and improve isoform abundance estimation. The framework supports quantification-only, reference-guided, and fully reference-free (de novo) modes of analysis within a single methodological paradigm. We benchmarked LRAA using both simulated and genuine long-read datasets spanning sequencing standards and whole transcriptomes. Central to this evaluation is a novel benchmarking strategy based on Multiplexed Overexpression of Regulatory Factors (MORFs), which provides biologically expressed, barcoded isoforms with unambiguous read-level ground truth. Across all benchmarks, including MORFs, synthetic spike-ins, and whole-transcriptome datasets, LRAA consistently outperformed state-of-the-art methods in isoform identification accuracy, sensitivity, and expression quantification.
