Definition of Rna Sequencing



RNA sequencing is a technique that is employed in order to sequence mRNA transcripts and the different types of RNA i.e., mRNA, small RNA, miRNA, tRNA, etc. that are present in a cell. This technique utilizes next-generation sequencing which helps in revealing the presence as well as the amount of RNA that is present in the biological sample.

 


Moreover, the cellular transcriptome that continuously changes inside the cell is also analyzed with the help of RNA sequencing. The processes like post-translational modifications, single nucleotide polymorphisms, gene fusion, etc. can also be determined by the aid of this technique.
