Eukaryotic mRNA Sequencing-Illumina

mRNA sequencing enables profiling of all mRNAs transcripted from cells under specific conditions. It is a powerful technology for revealing gene expression profile, gene structures and molecular mechanisms of certain biological processes. To date, mRNA sequencing has been widely employed in fundamental research, clinical diagnostics, drug development, etc.

Platform: Illumina NovaSeq 6000
