 Information

RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is revolutionizing the study of the transcriptome. A highly sensitive and accurate tool for measuring expression across the transcriptome, it allows researchers to detect both known and novel features in a single assay, enabling the detection of transcript isoforms, gene fusions, single nucleotide variants, allele-specific gene expression and other features without the limitation of prior knowledge. RNA-Seq offers numerous advantages over gene expression arrays and qPCR:
  • Broader dynamic range enables more sensitive and accurate measurement of gene expression
  • Not limited by prior knowledge - captures both known and novel features
  • Can be applied to any species, even if reference sequencing is not available
  • A better value, often delivering advantages at a comparable or lower price per sample than many arrays
Join us to see how this powerful technique has been helping researchers in their day-today work, and how it can also help you.
