True Direct Single Molecule RNA Sequencing
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Methods for in-depth characterization of transcriptomes and quantification of transcript levels have emerged as valuable tools for understanding cellular physiology and human disease biology, and have begun to be utilized in various clinical diagnostic applications. Current methods, however, typically require RNA to be converted to cDNA prior to measurements. This step has been shown to introduce many biases and artifacts. In order to best characterize the true transcriptome, we propose the application of single molecule, true Direct RNA Sequencing (tDRS) in which RNA is sequenced witho...
