translation icon : secuencia
  • So we need a header at the front and we're going to put in a number, we'll call it the seq, the sequence number.
  • RNA-seq
  • ChIP-seq
  • ATAC-seq

And then we actually have large scale RNA seq experiments now that give us proteins that are found many places.

Examples

  • In this study, we explored the above questions through the use of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq).

    Academic text (2017)
  • All RNA-seq analyses have been performed with two biological replicates.

  • I'll just call it seq and delta just like that.

  • So we need RNA seq, we need to go genome wide at single cell level and we need again millions of cells.

  • And then we actually have large scale RNA seq experiments now that give us proteins that are found many places.

  • So whether it's genome sequencing, genotyping, RNA seq, whatever it is, we have technologies for that.

  • Computational identification of circRNAs from total RNA-seq data is the primary process to study their expression patterns and biological functions.

    Academic text (2017)
  • Newly sequenced plant genomes are published, and vast amounts of RNA-Seq data are increasingly deposited into NCBI's Sequence Read Archive (SRA).

    Academic text (2017)
  • In genomics, researchers often analyze RNA seq data to understand gene expression patterns across different tissues.

  • The latest study utilized high-throughput sequencing techniques, particularly RNA seq, to identify novel transcripts in the cell.

Etymology

Seq used in science is an abbreviation of sequence, from the root sequ- meaning 'to follow', so it points to a series in order, for example the letters in a DNA sequence follow one after another.
