I am a newbie on NGS. I read a topic on seqanswer.com/wiki/How-to and was confused by the terms transcriptome data vs. genome data. What is the differences between these two types of data? Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hard to say how much biology you know, but here goes: Transcriptome data come from sequencing RNA transcripts of which (generally) the protein coding transcripts are of greatest interest. Genome data comes sequencing the whole genome. If you need more information than then I suggest consulting biology textbooks or even Wikipedia. -
Thanks for reply, Westerman!Comment

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
