mRNA-Seq helps quantify and profile active genes by detecting their mRNA transcripts, providing insights into gene expression patterns. Unlike Total RNA-Seq, mRNA-Seq focuses exclusively on coding RNA (mRNA) by enriching for poly(A) RNA.

Identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during drug treatment
Pathway and gene signature analysis to assess drug response
Biomarker discovery for predicting drug efficacy and toxicity

mRNA-seq selectively sequences polyadenylated RNA, focusing on messenger RNA (mRNA).
