Direct RNA Sequencing Supports Novel Discoveries in RNA Biology

Years of experiments and databases filled with RNA-seq results belie the simple reality that, until fairly recently, it was impossible to analyze RNA directly. The RNA-seq studies performed with ...

Single-molecule RNA mapping may reveal how shape shifts steer health and disease

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA ...

Understanding plate, droplet and microwell approaches in single-cell RNA sequencing

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