The research and development process in modern drug discovery and development
is a complex and challenging task. Using traditional biological test methods
such as PCR to measure the expression levels or function of these genes is costly
and time-consuming. RNA-seq can measure the expression patterns of thousands
of genes simultaneously and provide insights into functional pathways or regulations
in biological processes, which has revolutionized the way biological scientists
examine gene functions. This book addresses the various aspects of the
RNA-seq technique, especially its application in drug discovery and development.
