You may have heard about the wonderful things you can find in the raw data your lab produces. Some of it gets published: it becomes part of a groundbreaking study, or inspires the development of a life-saving drug, though most ...

Despite RNA-Seq being the capstone technology for gene expression profiling, qPCR remains the go-to technique for validation. To this day, qPCR validation of microarray data is commonplace, and many see it as necessary, given that microarrays involve hybridization to a glass ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and microarray are two of the most commonly used high-throughput technologies for transcriptome profiling; however, they both have their own inherent strengths and limitations. Researchers from Fudan University aimed to analyze the correlation between microarrays and RNA-Seq detection of ...

News Medical Life Sciences by By Catherine Shaffer, M.Sc. – If DNA is the fundamental code of the genome, RNA is the message. Genes are made active through the process of transcribing the code into RNA, and then translating RNA into DNA. This is known as ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and microarrays are two transcriptomics techniques aimed at the quantification of transcribed genes and their isoforms. Here researchers from the Luxembourg Institute of Health compare the latest Affymetrix HTA 2.0 microarray with Illumina 2000 RNA-seq for the ...

We’ve been keeping track of the number of papers that we can find citing RNA-Seq since 2008.  January is often a time to reflect back on the previous year, so how did the number of publications in 2016 compare to ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is the application of next generation sequencing technologies to cDNA molecules. This is obtained by reverse transcription from RNA, in order to get information about the RNA content of a sample. Thus, RNA-seq is the set of ...

A multi-institution research group jointly led by Professor Jan Prins and UNC CS alumna Professor Jinze Liu at the University of Kentucky is developing algorithms and software to analyze RNA using high-throughput sequencers. The software is in use in multiple ...
