Chapter 16, Problem 39P

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The process by which the small RNA species identified by cDNA sequencing is considered as regulatory sRNAs, but not fragments of longer mRNA.

Introduction:

The regulatory sRNAs (small ribonucleic acid) are identified by transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). sRNAs are usually heterogeneous in their secondary sequence and sequence length as compared to the fragment of longer messenger RNA.
