Tracking the spread of COVID-19 Viruses spread because they can rapidly copy their genetic material and produce more virus. Each virus—including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19—has its own unique RNA genetic blueprint. This RNA signature alerts scientists to the presence of a specific disease. Part of the obstacle scientists have ...

circRNAs: uncovering the functions of novel non-coding sequences – from developmental biology to anti-cancer therapies Summary What is circRNA? (Research on the function of circRNA; research hotspots in life sciences and medicine) Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of ...

RNA sequencing is a biological sample genomic technique that detects and quantitatively analyzes the messenger RNA modules. It’s useful to investigate cellular responses. Over the past few years, it has fuelled medical research and innovation. For practical purposes, samples containing ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the modern, second revolution and the spearhead of an ever-accelerating field. The NGS technology performs innovative research in a variety of different areas, such as BioPharm, Population genetics/genomics, Agriculture, Forensics, Water testing, Complex and Infectious disease ...

With the rise of Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS), omics analysis has become mainstream. In particular, more and more researchers include transcriptomics data in their publications...

Just as RNA itself has primary and secondary structure, RNA-Seq analysis has primary, Secondary and even tertiary steps. Which is the right tool at...

To Our Readers, Thanks so much for your patience with our recent downtime! The RNA-Seq Blog was attacked by a malicious hacker last Friday. Both our host and developer have been working...

Multimodal analysis enables the simultaneous measurement of multiple modalities or the integration of data from multiple experiments. For a long time now, the advantages of sequencing mRNA (scRNA – Seq) in individual cells, to understand...

Both poly(A) enrichment and ribosomal RNA depletion are commonly used for RNA sequencing. Either has its advantages and disadvantages that may lead to biases in the downstream analyses...

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is the major macromolecule essential for converting genetic codes into proteins through structures called ribosomes for performing cellular functions. The major types of RNA are Transfer RNA (tRNA), Messenger RNA (mRNA), and Ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It can ...
