RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a method to analyze the transcriptome of a sample. It provides a comprehensive view of the genes that are being expressed in a cell or tissue. RNA-seq can be used to identify genes that are differentially expressed between different conditions, such as healthy and diseased cells. It is also used to discover novel transcripts and splice variants.

Whole genome (re)sequencing (WGS) is a method to analyze a specific polymorphism from a species with a known reference genome. It provides the most comprehensive map of an organism’s genetic make-up. The method can discover molecular sarcoma and various genetic polymorphisms (SNPs, insertions, deletions, inversions, complex rearrangements, copy number variation) related to performance and other useful applications. Unlike targeted or exome sequencing, WGS covers all corners of an organism's entire genome, which is arguably the most important molecular data. For bacteria, this approach is highly effective for studying virulence, drug resistance or novel drug targets. Similarly, comparative genomic for eukaryotes through resequencing or de novo assembly is the best approach to obtain high resolution genomic variations.
