Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed a groundbreaking technology called TEQUILA-seq that could revolutionize the field of RNA sequencing. This low-cost and versatile method allows for targeted sequencing of full-length RNA molecules, which could accelerate the discovery of new diagnostics and treatments. One of the main challenges in studying RNA molecules is alternative splicing, a process where RNA molecules are cut and joined together in different ways. This process plays a significant role in diseases such as cancer, making it crucial to accurately account for all the RNA molecules that come from a single gene. TEQUILA-seq overcomes…
