Reports outline RNA research study findings from University of Helsinki

Fresh data on rna research are presented in the report 'Rapidly developing functional genomics in ecological model systems via 454 transcriptome sequencing.' "Next generation sequencing technology affords new opportunities in ecological genetics. This paper addresses how an ecological genetics research program focused on a phenotype of interest can quickly move from no genetic resources to having various functional genomic tools. 454 sequencing and its error rates are discussed, followed by a review of de novo transcriptome assemblies focused on the first successful de novo assembly which happens to be in an ecological model system (the Glanville fritillary butterfly)," researchers in...
