Several studies have demonstrated the regulatory roles of read-through transcripts in tumorigenesis and development. However, limited by the read length of next-generation sequencing, discovery of read-through transcripts has been slow. For long but also erroneous third-generation sequencing data, this study developed a novel minimizer sketch algorithm to accurately and quickly identify read-through transcripts.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Readon initially splits the reference sequence into distinct active regions. It employs a sliding window approach within each region, calculates minimizers, and constructs the specialized structured arrays for query indexing. Following initial alignment anchor screening of candidate read-through transcripts, further confirmation steps are executed. Comparative assessments against existing software reveal Readon's superior performance on both simulated and validated real data. Additionally, two downstream tools are provided: one for predicting whether a read-through transcript is likely to undergo nonsense-mediated decay or encodes a protein, and another for visualizing splicing patterns.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Readon is
