RNA sequencing - laboratory method used to learn the exact order (sequence) of the building blocks that make up all RNA molecules in a cell. Inside a cell, RNA is copied from pieces of DNA and contains information to make proteins and perform other important functions. RNA sequencing is used to learn more about which genes are expressed (turned on) in different cell types and when and how those genes are expressed. This can help researchers understand the cause of certain diseases, such as cancer
