One of the most common uses for RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) is gene expression analysis (sometimes referred to as mRNA-Seq). However, there are many other types of RNA-Seq that can be used to address various research questions. Some other types of RNA-Seq include whole transcriptome sequencing, small RNA-Seq, single cell RNA-Seq and low-input RNA-Seq. The type […]

This infographic from Phalanx Biotech gives an overview of two widely used methods of gene expression analysis: RNA-Seq and Microarray.  See below for the pros and cons of each. Microarrays have long been the method of choice for expression analysis. They are a proven method for affordable and reliable data acquisition. The microarray genomic platform […]
