Introduction to sequencing

Trainer: Vladimir Benes

Overview: 
RNA-Seq is a high-throughput sequencing technique that generates millions of short reads from RNA samples. These reads can be aligned to a genome assembly, allowing for the detection and quantification of gene expression. This section delves into fundamentals of sequencing and the technologies that are commonly used for bulk RNA-Seq projects.
