Introduction:

Transcriptome sequencing, also referred to as RNA sequencing(RNA-seq) or massively parallel RNA-seq, is a powerful tool that offers deep insights into gene expression and how changes in gene expression drive biological processes and impact health. However, RNA-seq experiments generate large amounts of data that must be carefully managed and analyzed. RNA-seq data analysis is a complex pipeline requiring different types of data processing, quality control (QC), and statistical analysis at each stage. Naturally, those necessary analyses require specialized software tools. Here, we briefly discuss several of the analytical steps involved, and how you can use the tools of Novogene’s NovoMagic platform to accelerate your RNA-seq data analysis.
