RNA sequencing is a cutting-edge biotechnology technique widely used in research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and biotech firms in both the United States and Brazil. In Brazil, it has become increasingly important in academic research and precision medicine initiatives. The terminology is standardized in scientific literature across both countries, though Portuguese uses 'ARN' while Brazilian Portuguese uses 'RNA'. This technique represents the shift toward data-intensive genomics research in modern molecular biology.
