RNA-seq (whole-transcriptome sequencing) _____.
A) is a new hybridization technique used in transcriptomics
B) is the most common method used to identify certain cancer genes
C) identifies and quantifies RNA transcripts in a sample
D) is being replaced by DNA microarrays in transcriptomics
E) can only identify 100 sequences at a time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA-seq identifies and quantifies RNA transcripts in a sample, providing insights into the transcriptome of an organism at a given time. It is not limited to identifying only 100 sequences at a time, nor is it a hybridization technique or being replaced by DNA microarrays. While it can be used in cancer research, stating it as the most common method for identifying cancer genes is too specific and overlooks its broad applications.
