Can i do RNA SEQUENCING without having the genome?

Yes, you can. -
Can you recommend me where to begin?Comment

It's hard to be specific without knowing what you want to do, but generic advice wouild be to start by reading this review paper:
Then go on to more specialized papers, or search this forum, for more information about "transcriptome assembly".Comment

RNA-SEQ with no genome
Two recent papers discuss methodology and strategy:
De novo assembly and analysis of RNA-seq data - Nature Methods 2010
and a News & Views Article from Nature Biotechnology 2010
Advancing RNA-Seq analysis - New methods for analyzing RNA-Seq data enable de novo reconstruction of the transcriptome

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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
