The application of RNA-seq in neurodegenerative diseases / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

As a noval approach,RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)has been used for studying many diseases in recent years,es-pecially with the introduction of next generation sequencing(NGS),much more and more attention has been gathered on the utilization of RNA-seq for research purpose of central nervous system(CNS). This review focuses on applying of RNA-seq in central nervous sys-tem,taking neurodegenerative diseases for example,including Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease,to expound the application of RNA-seq in the studying of central nervous system diseases and the prospective side of finding potential tar-gets in drug treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
