Hey all. My PI is planning a project with RNA-seq and I'm supposed to be involved. Any tips on a good place to start learning about RNA-seq, specifically mRNA-seq? I'm a total novice here, send me to the real basic stuff if you can. THanks!

This is a good place to start: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Next_Ge..._%28NGS%29/RNA
Look around on SeqAnswers (specially through the archives and creative searches using the search tool in menu bar). You will find all kinds of information.
When in doubt, feel free to ask the right questions.

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...
