RNA sequencing - RNA-Seq Data

3 important questions on RNA sequencing - RNA-Seq Data

Uses of RNA-seq data in cancer genomics

  • Expression levels (differential analysis)
  • Variant calling
  • Chimeric transcript detected (gene fusion)
  • Tumor classification

Gene fusions can be detected with?

SNP microarray, karyotyping, FISH

Key points about RNA (gene fusions)

  • Only detects functional chimeric events
  • Requires heavy filtering due to false positives
  • Is affected by the expression levels of genes involved

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
