About the webinar

RNA sequencing enables researchers to investigate gene expression, identify differentially expressed genes and explore transcript-level changes across biological systems. However, transcriptomic research can extend beyond protein-coding genes to include long non-coding RNAs, or lncRNAs, which are involved in a wide range of regulatory processes.

This beginner-friendly webinar introduces the fundamentals of RNA-seq and explains the potential value of including lncRNA analysis in transcriptomics studies. It provides an overview of mRNA sequencing and total transcriptome sequencing, alongside practical considerations for selecting an appropriate strategy.

The session also covers sample requirements, experimental design and common considerations when planning RNA-seq and lncRNA-focused projects.

• The biological importance of long non-coding RNAs
• When lncRNA analysis may add value to a transcriptomics study
• Key differences between mRNA-focused and broader transcriptome approaches
• Practical considerations for samples, sequencing strategy and study design
