RNA-seq is a revolutionary tool with better resolution and higher reproducibility that offers many advantages over the traditional microarray technologies. RNA-seq can be used to extend our knowledge of alternative splicing events, novel genes and transcripts, and fusion transcripts. RNA-seq can also help to understand molecular mechanisms and then it tells about signaling pathways which controls embryonic development. The transcriptome data give researchers a good place to start searching for a newly found gene's function.
