RNA-seq advances aim to get it all
/Taming the RNA Zoo While Saving Rare Transcripts
The lab is no wildlife park for RNA, but life sciences researchers can capture and display low-abundance, unstable, and otherwise vulnerable species
RNA analysis would do well to follow the example set by naturalists, scientists who patiently add new species to their catalogs while remembering that any catalog, however comprehensive, is of limited interest. What really matters, in botany or zoology or, more pertinently, RNA biology, is learning how species impact each other and fulfill their environmental roles.
