Topic: transcriptome sequencing (rna-seq)

Gene expression techniques based on microarrays have been applied to high-throughput, large-scale RNA-level investigations, including the identification of genes with differential expression. Nevertheless, the hybridization-based nature of microarray technology has restricted their application. RNA-seq through cDNA sequencing has been made possible by developments in massively parallel DNA sequencing methods. Compared to conventional microarray technologies, RNA-seq is a highly advantageous inst...
