RNA-Seq is a next-generation sequencing technique used to quantify and identify RNA molecules in a biological sample, providing a snapshot of the transcriptome at a specific time. It enables transcrip
Examples of alternative RNA splicing modes. Exons are represented as blue and yellow blocks, spliced introns as horizontal black lines connecting two exons, and exon-exon junctions as thin grey connecting lines between two exons.
In molecular biology and genetics, DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of describing the structure and function of the components of a genome, by analyzing and interpreting them in orde
An example Gene Ontology (GO) ancestor chart organized as a directed acyclic graph taken from QuickGO. It shows the molecular functions, biological processes, and cellular components in which the matrilin complex, a component of the extracellular matrix, is involved. Every box is an ontology term that falls into one of the three GO categories and is color-coded respectively. Ontology terms are related to each other through specific qualifiers (such as "is a", "part of", etc.), which are represented by different kinds of arrows.
