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.

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.

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).
