RNA-Seq
RNA-seq is used to analyze gene expression of certain biological objects systems under different conditions. It is a highly accurate quantification method, which features high repeatability, wide detection range and low cost. It has the following advantages:
- Digital signals, no noise, no cross-hybridization
- High reproducibility and sensitivity
- Detects 25% more genes than microarrays
- Detects high-abundance and low-abundance genes
- No species limitations: model organisms and non-model organisms
- Real-time updates with the important databases
- Allows cross use of microarray-based software for data analysis
