RNA-Seq is a technique (RNA-Seq.ppt ) that allows transcriptome studies based on next-generation sequencing technologies. This technique is largely dependent on bioinformatics tools developed to support the different steps of the process. Here are...

RNA-seq (RNA sequencing), also called whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (WTSS), is a technology that uses the capabilities of next-generation sequencing to reveal a snapshot of RNA presence and quantity from a genome at a...

In a basement room, deep in the bowels of a steel-clad building in Cambridge, a major insurgency is under way. A hulking metal box, some three meters tall, is quietly beaming terabytes’ worth of...

It took two postdoctoral researchers, a lab technician, four undergraduates and their faculty advisors only four years – a blink of an eye in pharmaceutical terms – to scour a collection of 10,000 bacterial...
