What Technologies are Used in Transcriptomics for Cancer?
Several technologies are employed in transcriptomic studies, including:
RNA Sequencing (RNA-seq): Provides a comprehensive view of the transcriptome, allowing for the quantification of gene expression and discovery of novel transcripts. Microarrays: Used to measure the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. Although less comprehensive than RNA-seq, microarrays are still widely used due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Single-cell RNA-seq: Allows for the analysis of gene expression at the single-cell level, providing insights into cellular heterogeneity within tumors.
