Gene Expression Analysis: RNA-Seq vs. Microarray

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 remains a key player in high-throughput technology.

With the advent of next generation sequencing, transcriptome sequencing (or RNA-Seq) has also become a viable competitor for reliable expression profiling.
