Transcriptomics

Review (2/5)

Identify the advantages of RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) over DNA microarrays.

Low background noise, cheaper, better quality data, directly determines cDNA sequences.

Large dynamic range, no need for gene sequences, highly reproducible, and directly determines cDNA sequences.

Less sample preparation, faster results, large, highly reproducible data sets.

Idenfication of individual nucleotides, possible discovery of transcript regions that were previously unknown, small data sets for easy data analysis, low dynamic range.
