RNAseq Insights

What is RNAseq?

RNA-Seq (RNA sequencing) is a technique used to analyze the transcriptome of a cell or tissue. It involves converting RNA into a library of cDNA fragments, sequencing these fragments, and then mapping the reads to a reference genome or transcriptome. RNA-Seq is commonly used to quantify gene expression levels, discover new transcripts, identify alternative splicing events, and detect non-coding RNAs.
