Assembling all transcripts for an individual gene? (using single sequence to seed the assembly)

Let's say I have a candidate gene and I believe that in an individual sample, the genome sequence differs from the reference which then interferes with alignment. Is there a way for me to do a "...

Will using smaller kmers help get larger contigs? If not, then what?

I've been using MEGAHIT to assemble metagenomes, with particular focus on specific genomic areas. Sometimes all I get is gene fragments or pathway fragments (eg. if I know that genes A, B, C, D and E ...
