The exact sequence sampled may be random, depending on the technology used. And it may be short, i.e. shorter than the transcript. At some point, many shorter reads need to be assembled to the model the complete transcripts. . StringTie knows how to assemble of RNA-Seq into potential transcripts without the need of a reference genome and provides a quantification also of the splice variants.
