A Novel Processing-Free Method for RNAseq Analysis of Spontaneous Sputum in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Background: Assessments of airways inflammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) require semi-invasive procedures and specialized sample processing know-how. In this study we aimed to set up and validate a novel non-invasive processing-free method for RNA sequencing (RNA...
