Computational Efficiency Summary References A key advantage of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) over hybridization-based technologies such as microarrays is that RNA-seq makes it possible to reconstruct complete gene structures, including multiple splice variants, from raw RNA-seq reads without relying on previously-established annotations [20, 32, 9]. But with this added flexibility, there are increased computational demands on upstream processing tasks such as alignment and ass ...
