1. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been instrumental in our every-expanding pursuit of genomic knowledge. reverse transcriptase is an enzyme uses mRNA as a template and in the presence of dNTP's makes a compliments DNA (cDNA, still technically not a violation of the central dogma
A. if i engrafted all RNA's from a cell then purified the spliced and poly-adenylated mRNA, could i use reverse transcriptase and illumine sequencing. Explain your answer
B. If I wanted to compare this sample to another sample (say diseased vs normal) explain how indeces help with this process. Also explain this potential approach over qRT-PCr
Please answer A and B
