Introduction

Protocols

Today you will analyze the RNA-seq data gathered from untreated DLD-1 and BRCA2- cells and etoposide treated DLD-1 and BRCA2- cells. Following RNA purification, the samples were submitted to the BioMicro Center for Illumina sequencing. Illumina sequencing technology, or sequencing by synthesis (SBS), is used for massively parallel sequencing with a proprietary method that detects single bases as they are incorporated into growing DNA strands.
