    RNA-Seq biology

    As far as I can see the literature is using total RNA for RNA-Seq analysis. This is fine if you're doing gene expression level. But there are numerous studies regarding alternative splicing events.
    My question is, isn't using total RNA, which includes hnRNA from nucleus, inaccurate to report alternative splicing events?
    Correct me if I am wrong but using polyA selected RNA out of total RNA is not sufficient filter out unspliced transcripts.
    I'm sure there are labs doing cytoplasmic mRNA RNA-Seq as we speak, I'm wondering if it's okay to use RNA-Seq from total RNA to discover novel splice variants, relative expression levels of splice variants, etc.

    In other (biological) words, doesn't polyadenylation occur before splicing is complete?

    thanks,

    Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
    by seqadmin




    The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

    New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
    by seqadmin


    This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

    The Headliner
    The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
