Omics sciences are targeting quantification of whole biomolecules such as RNA and proteins at organism, tissue, or a single-cell level. Omics sciences are separated into several branches such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics1. What is transcriptomics?

The NGS technologies are implemented for several applications, including whole-genome sequencing, de novo assembly sequencing, resequencing, and transcriptome sequencing at the DNA or RNA level. In order to sequence longer sections of DNA, a new approach called shotgun sequencing (Venter et al., 2003;Tue, 24 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMTYasin Kayahttps://rsg-turkiye.iscbsc.org/blog/mirdeep2-mirna-sequencing-analysis-example-run-by-using-ubuntu-terminal/https://rsg-turkiye.iscbsc.org/blog/mirdeep2-mirna-sequencing-analysis-example-run-by-using-ubuntu-terminal/microRNAs (miRNAs) belong the family of small non-coding RNAs and regulate many processes in the body via regulating the mRNAs.
