Introduction to RNA Sequencing
RNA序列(RNA-Seq)是对圣udy of the transcriptome. A highly sensitive and accurate tool for measuring expression across the transcriptome, it is providing researchers with visibility into previously undetected changes occurring in disease states, in response to therapeutics, under different environmental conditions, and across a broad range of other study designs.
RNA-Seq allows researchers to detect both known and novel features in a single assay, enabling the detection of transcript isoforms, gene fusions, single nucleotide variants, and other features without the limitation of prior knowledge.
Propelling Progress with RNA-Seq
RNA sequencing can have far-reaching effects on research and innovation, transforming our understanding of the world around us.
Benefits of RNA Sequencing
RNA-Seq with next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly the method of choice for researchers studying the transcriptome. It offers numerous advantages over gene expression arrays.
- Broader dynamic range enables more sensitive and accurate measurement of gene expression
- Not limited by prior knowledge - captures both known and novel features
- Can be applied to any species, even if reference sequencing is not available
- A better value, often delivering advantages at a comparable or lower price per sample than many arrays
