Additionally, we can look at whether transcript levels are changing between two conditions, regardless of the gene of origin. This is known as differential transcript expression.

When a reference genome is either unavailable or not desired, it is possible to take RNAseq reads and assemble them into a transcriptome of the assayed genes. The assembly can be done in 2 ways, there are reference based methods and de novo methods. Reference based methods use the reference of either the organism or a closely related species.

RNAseq can have clinical applications. One such application is the detection of fusion genes - these can arise due to chromosomal rearrangements combining the coding regions of two genes. These genes can produce aberrant proteins and lead to cancer development if the fused genes are oncogenes or tumor suppresor genes. Therefore, detection of fusion genes can be an important diagnostic tool in clinical settings as well as for cancer research.
