RNA-seq

RNA-seq is a high-throughput sequencing technique used to measure the expression levels of different genes in a cell. It enables researchers to understand the molecular functions of a cell by analyzing the expression levels of its transcriptome. RNA-seq is used to identify new genes, track changes in the expression of existing genes over time, measure the expression of particular genes in different organisms, and uncover the roles of RNA modifications. Furthermore, it can be used to identify genetic variations and to study regulation such as gene splicing and transcriptional regulation. This makes RNA-seq a powerful tool for advancing our understanding of gene regulation and its role in development, physiology, and disease.
