摘要: The transcriptome is the entire assembly of RNA transcripts in a given cell type, including protein coding and noncoding transcripts. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) recently developed technology that uses high-throughput approaches (next-generation or NGS) to determine sequence all specimen. This chapter provides an overview development technical background transcriptomics advantages limitations RNA-Seq. has rapidly increased our understanding gene expression profiles various cells tissues allowing us better understand alternative splicing functional elements genome, identify new fusion cancer. We also review research potential clinical applications RNA-Seq inherited, chronic, neoplastic, infectious diseases.
