Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

DNA-based methods dominate molecular cancer diagnostics but struggle to detect gene fusions and assess splice site consequences. RNA sequencing enables sensitive fusion detection and direct assessment ...

Focusing on this aspect, we present the RMaP challenge, where RNA modification methods can be jointly tested, evaluated, and compared using selected metrics with the purpose of evaluating both the ...

Accurate assembly of rRNA-depleted (total) RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) remains challenging because existing methods often conflate incomplete, nascent RNA with fully processed mature isoforms, leading to ...

A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins ...

While bulk sequencing quickly became the preferred method, scRNA-seq has increased in popularity over the last decade. In 2015, just 6 % of RNA-seq papers used single-cell methodologies. By 2025, the ...

Rapid precision run-on sequencing (rPRO-seq) may help doctors understand disease states and treatment response in real time. Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (FL, USA) have ...

A comprehensive review article titled “Bioinformatics perspectives on transcriptomics: A comprehensive review of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses,” published in Quantitative Biology, ...

Understand the stages of a standard RNA-seq bioinformatics workflow, including the role of QC, alignment, gene expression quantification, and specialized application analyses Identify key QC metrics ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

An interdisciplinary team of Rice University researchers has uncovered previously unknown relationships between bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—and their bacterial hosts, offering a ...
