I am a newbie on NGS. I read a topic on seqanswer.com/wiki/How-to and was confused by the terms transcriptome data vs. genome data. What is the differences between these two types of data? Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hard to say how much biology you know, but here goes: Transcriptome data come from sequencing RNA transcripts of which (generally) the protein coding transcripts are of greatest interest. Genome data comes sequencing the whole genome. If you need more information than then I suggest consulting biology textbooks or even Wikipedia. -
Thanks for reply, Westerman!Comment

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...
