Small RNA sequencing
Small RNA sequencing is a laboratory technique that identifies and measures tiny RNA molecules inside cells. These small RNAs, including microRNAs and other regulators, play crucial roles in controlling gene activity. The process involves isolating these small RNAs, converting them into specific DNA copies, and then sequencing them to determine their sequences and abundance. This helps scientists understand how genes are regulated, how cells respond to changes, or how diseases like cancer develop. Overall, small RNA sequencing provides a detailed snapshot of these important molecular regulators within biological samples.
