RNA sequencing
RNA sequencing is a laboratory technique used to analyze the types and amounts of RNA molecules in a cell or tissue at a specific time. Since RNA carries genetic information from DNA to make proteins, examining its sequence helps scientists understand which genes are active and how cells respond to different conditions. The process involves extracting RNA, converting it into a readable form, and then using advanced technologies to identify and quantify each RNA molecule. This provides detailed insights into gene expression patterns, helping research in health, disease, and biological functions.
