• A: RNA-seq is primarily used for genome-wide expression studies of many genes, whereas RT-PCR typically analyzes the expression of one or a few specific genes.
• B: RT-PCR requires mRNA fragmentation, while RNA-seq uses intact mRNA.
• C: Both RT-PCR and RNA-seq are primarily qualitative methods, not providing quantitative data.
