Tissue-specific RNA plasticity broadly impacts the development, tissue identity and adaptability of all organisms, but changes in composition, expression levels and its impact on gene regulation in different somatic tissues are largely unknown. Now, researchers at Arizona State University have developed ...

Scientists at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile have uncovered the diversity of non-canonical splice sites at the human transcriptome using deep transcriptome profiling. They mapped a total of 3.7 billion human RNA-seq reads and developed a set of stringent ...

RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is rapidly emerging as the technology of choice for whole-transcriptome studies. However, RNA-seq is not a bias free technique. It requires large amounts of RNA and library preparation can introduce multiple artifacts, compounded by problems from later stages ...
