RNA-seq: Introduction, Applications and Protocols

Written by
(A) Expression of marker genes in the three samples. Number on the top showing percentage of cells with at least one UMI. (B) Boxplot showing top 50 cluster of differentiation (CD) genes ranked by average normalized expression. (C) Distribution of UMI cross cells after pre-processing to filter out low-quality cells. (D) Distribution of expressed genes after pre-processing to filter out low-abundance genes with mean-based method (genes with means more than 0.1 were retained).
The identification and quantification of gene expression levels have unveiled the complexity of many biological mechanisms within the cell. The widespread knowledge about cell transcriptome has been accomplished through the…
