Whole transcriptome analysis is of growing importance in understanding how altered expression of genetic variants contributes to complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Analysis of genome-wide differential RNA expression provides researchers with greater insights into biological pathways and molecular mechanisms that regulate cell fate, development, and disease progression.  With a dynamic range to detect subtle changes in expression level in a hypothesis neutral environment, next generation sequencing enables the understanding of biological response to stimuli or environmental changes.
