Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So we have that a technique that can examine the quantity and sequences of RNA using next generation sequencing is called. So remember that we are looking at RNA. So we're going to eliminate the answer choices that do not talk about RNA. Then remember that we're looking to examine the quantity and sequences of RN A in the sample from these two answer choices. Let's see which one can accomplish this. If we have RN A splicing, this is going to be a certain sequence of DNA being cut up into different parts. This is not going to help us examine the quantity and sequences of RN A in the sample. However, if we have RN A sequencing, this is exactly what it is going to do sequencing refers to use analyzing the genes or the sequences of RN A or DNA in a certain sample in order to just get more information on them. So it's going to be the final answer to our question and we're going to highlight it. Thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video. And I hope this helped you
