It is based off of converting RNAs into cDNAs with reverse transcriptase, followed by Illumina sequencing.). Includes dNTPsplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigDeoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs): the collective name for four different molecules (dGTP, dATP, dTTP, dCTP) that are substrates for DNA polymerase and are used to form DNA. These are sometimes abbreivated as “deoxynucleotides” (which clearly refers to dNTPs) or just and NTPsplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigRibonucleotide triphosphate: the basic building blocks for making RNA.
