INVIEW Transcriptome Explore

Reliable transcript identification and comparison between expression levels

INVIEW Transcriptome Explore is an attractive sample-to-result package that provides general characterization of a specific transcriptome using RNA-Seq. The product enables the comparative analysis of genes expressed at a given time or under specific conditions. The raw data is carefully analyzed by trained bioinformaticians to produce a clear and informative report of all sequencing results.

Applications

  • Comparison studies of highly expressed genes
  • Analysis of transcript levels from different samples
  • Screening approaches where reference sequences are available
  • Gene expression profiling in cancer


Highlights of INVIEW Transcriptome Explore

  • Strand-specific cDNA libraries for sequencing with Illumina's technology
  • 30 million single reads guaranteed
  • Ideal for screening projects with high sample throughput
  • Well suited to comparison studies of gene expression

 

Product specifications

  • Processing of any number of samples, starting with one sample
  • Preparation of random primed cDNA libraries 
  • RNA-Seq with leading sequencing technology
  • Adaptable sequencing output in multiples of 30M reads
  • High-quality BioIT analysis
  • Final report with ready-to-publish data
  • Available under ISO 17025 accreditation
  • Requires a well-known reference genome/transcriptome

 

INVIEW Transcriptome Explore offers a powerful method for profiling and comparing transcripts in order to explore gene structure and function. The NGS-based approach offers general transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq. The transcriptome-sequencing service extracts valuable information from carefully prepared random primed cDNA libraries. Following thorough BioIT analysis (Fig. 1), a comprehensive report of all results can be delivered in rapid turnaround times.

Specifications

Library types

  • Standard eukaryotic library - mRNA is poly-(A) enriched and subsequently fragmented. cDNA synthesis is performed with random hexamer priming.
  • Standard prokaryotic library - ribosomal RNA is removed by ribo depletion. Random hexamer primers are used for cDNA synthesis.
  • Library with FFPE RNA - RNA isolation from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) samples. An optimised workflow including ribodepletion allows for reliable gene expression analysis and SNP detection.

Sequencing platform

  • Illumina

Sequencing mode

  • 50 bp single reads
  • 30 million single reads guaranteed

Bioinformatics offered for transcriptome analysis

  • Semi-automatic mapping against one reference
  • Identification of potential exon-exon splice junctions
