REVISIT: Targeted RNA-Seq Anyone??
Hi All - a quick search of the threads tells me that there have been a couple of queries about who is doing targeted RNA-Seq over the years but nobody has responded. Now that the field is maturing a bit, I'd like to revisit the question - Is anyone doing targeted RNA-Seq? Anyone using the Illumina kit? I have heard rumors of irreproducibility but haven't seen any data. Any thoughts? Seems like this would be a great use of the technology but I haven't seen very much (a little but not much) in the literature or blogosphere.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
