Measuring Gene Expression with RNA-Seq

Description

RNA-seq measures gene expression by sequencing RNA from a sample. It is a high-throughput method, which means it can read many RNA molecules at once. It is especially useful because it can be analyzed without prior genomic information.

In RNA-seq, RNA isolated from samples of interest is first us...

Transcript

RNA sequencing, or RNA-seq, is a technique that can provide information on the sequence and quantity of every RNA expressed, known as the “transcriptome,” in a cell population. Unlike other expression profiling methods such as microarrays, which involve probing for known RNA sequences, RNA-seq can profile gene expression from ...
