TLDR
The RNA-Seq approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods.
Abstract
RNA-Seq is a recently developed approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies. Studies using this method have already altered our view of the extent and complexity of eukaryotic transcriptomes. RNA-Seq also provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods. This article describes the RNA-Seq approach, the challenges associated with its application, and the advances made so far in characterizing several eukaryote transcriptomes.

Transcriptome Profiling in Human Diseases: New Advances and Perspectives.

TL;DR: In the last decades, transcriptome profiling has been one of the most utilized approaches to investigate human diseases at the molecular level and total RNA sequencing has completely revolutionized transcriptome analysis allowing the quantification of gene expression levels and allele-specific expression in a single experiment.

AutoImpute: Autoencoder based imputation of single-cell RNA-seq data.

TL;DR: An autoencoder-based sparse gene expression matrix imputation method, which learns the inherent distribution of the input scRNA-seq data and imputes the missing values accordingly with minimal modification to the biologically silent genes.

Catalyzing plant science research with RNA-seq.

TL;DR: An overview of the breadth of RNA-seq protocols that have been developed to address questions spanning cell type-specific-based transcriptomics, transcript secondary structure and gene mapping is provided.

Existing and Emerging Technologies for Tumor Genomic Profiling

TL;DR: Ongoing global genome characterization efforts are revolutionizing the authors' knowledge of cancer genomics and tumor biology, and information gleaned from these studies on driver cancer gene alterations can be leveraged, in principle, to develop a cohesive framework for individualized cancer treatment.

Mapping and quantifying mammalian transcriptomes by RNA-Seq.

TL;DR: Although >90% of uniquely mapped reads fell within known exons, the remaining data suggest new and revised gene models, including changed or additional promoters, exons and 3′ untranscribed regions, as well as new candidate microRNA precursors.

Serial analysis of gene expression

TL;DR: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) should provide a broadly applicable means for the quantitative cataloging and comparison of expressed genes in a variety of normal, developmental, and disease states.

Mapping short DNA sequencing reads and calling variants using mapping quality scores

TL;DR: This work describes the software MAQ, software that can build assemblies by mapping shotgun short reads to a reference genome, using quality scores to derive genotype calls of the consensus sequence of a diploid genome, e.g., from a human sample.

RNA-seq: An assessment of technical reproducibility and comparison with gene expression arrays

TL;DR: It is found that the Illumina sequencing data are highly replicable, with relatively little technical variation, and thus, for many purposes, it may suffice to sequence each mRNA sample only once (i.e., using one lane).

SOAP: short oligonucleotide alignment program

TL;DR: The program SOAP is designed to handle the huge amounts of short reads generated by parallel sequencing using the new generation Illumina-Solexa sequencing technology, which supports multi-threaded parallel computing and has a batch module for multiple query sets.
