Whether you are looking to discover potentially novel genes or transcripts, or study how certain genes respond to stimuli, NGS can offer a great complement to your existing methodology.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re interested in studying a particular set of genes\u2019 response to a certain stimulus, and currently you\u2019re using a set of TaqMan probes to accomplish this. This works well enough, but you\u2019re relying on a prior knowledge of this particular set of genes\u2019 involvement in the affected pathway. Are there other genes or RNA transcripts that are playing a part in the response?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s think a bit differently and talk about targeted RNA sequencing. Using this approach, you can target a known set of genes or non-coding RNA\u2019s and measure their expression levels, much like a qPCR\/Taqman approach. This method can allow you to target a small number of custom-selected genes with custom Ion AmpliSeq RNA panels, or all the way up to over 20,000 genes in a single reaction when using Ion AmpliSeq Transcriptome for instance. These methods also allow for low input starting material and work well with degraded RNA, such as that sourced from Formalin Fixed paraffin embedded tissue also refered to as FFPE. When combined with the ability to multiplex many samples and sequence them together in a single run, this approach provides the ability to economically analyze a large number of targets within a large number of samples.<\/p>\n<p>For targeted RNA sequencing, analysis is much more straightforward. Data is analyzed using a provided software plugin available in Torrent Suite software, and gene expression values are provided as well as clustering of genes that exhibit different patterns of expression. The expression data can be used in a variety of standard software packages for further statistical analysis if desired.<\/p>\n<p>For many, this is the best of both worlds \u2013 being able to use low amounts of input material, having a comprehensive set of genes or transcripts to target economically, and have a simple analysis path to allow them to move right into the interpretation and understanding of their data.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this video was helpful regarding Gene Expression applications using next gen sequencing and I am sure you\u2019ll have more questions.<\/p>\n<p>Submit your question at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/ask\">thermofisher.com\/ask<\/a> and subscribe to our channel to see more videos like this.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, when in doubt, just Seq It Out<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you perform qPCR as a routine part of your research?
