Sometimes, analyzing our DNA sequences isn’t quite enough. RNA-seq is a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based technique that looks at the RNA transcripts produced from our DNA, allowing us to look into how our genes are expressed.

RNA-seq has shown its worth across many fields, and neuroscience is no exception. In this infographic, we’ll investigate RNA-seq, how it is used in neuroscience, and how it has the potential to advance our understanding of every cell in the brain.
