Elegant trick improves single-cell RNA sequencing

rna-seq

Droplet microfluidics has revolutionized single-cell RNA sequencing, offering a low-cost, high-throughput method for single-cell genomics. However, this method has been limited in its ability to capture complete RNA transcription information. Researchers at Cornell – led by Iwijn De Vlaminck...

Are we sequencing too deep?

rna-seq

RNA-seq is increasingly used to study gene expression of various organisms. While it provides a great opportunity to explore genome-scale transcriptional patterns with tremendous depth, it comes with prohibitive costs. Establishing a minimal sequencing depth for required accuracy will guide ...

A Comparison of Next Generation Sequencing Technologies for Transcriptome Assembly

De novo assembled transcriptomes, in combination with RNA-Seq, are powerful tools to explore gene sequence and expression level in organisms without reference genomes. Investigators must first choose which high throughput sequencing platforms will provide data most suitable for their experimental ...
