DNA-Sequencing

What is DNA-Seq?

DNA-Seq is a technique used to determine information across the entire genome. This technique provides insight into the instructions for building an organism, understanding of genetic function or evolutionary changes.

Benefits of DNA-Seq?

DNA-Seq is useful to apply in many scientific areas including medical, agricultural, food, and biological sciences. DNA-Seq can be used for:

      • Identifying new genes and mutations
      • Increasing genome resolution
      • Estimating bacterial metabolic pathways
      • Revealing entire new families of enzymes and microbial metabolic pathways previously unknown
      • Identifying organisms or individuals in environmental samples
      • Estimating the population structure and size of wild species

DNA-Seq library preparation solutions provide kits combining library preparation, library quantification NuQuant, and DimerFree® adaptor ligation in an integrated workflow.

RNA Sequencing

What is RNA-seq?

RNA-Seq is a powerful technique that can examine the presence and quantity of RNA in samples by using next-generation sequencing (NGS).

This tool is able to provide insight into the transcriptome of the cell by using high-throughput sequencing methods. It can facilitate research in gene expression, novel genes (or transcripts) discovery, splicing, and mutation analysis.

Benefits of RNA-seq?

Compared to gene expression microarrays and qPCR, RNA-Seq offers a broad range of advantages.

  • First sequencing-based method that allows the intact transcriptome to be surveyed in a very high-throughput and quantitative manner
  • Ability to simultaneously map transcribed regions and gene expression
  • High range of gene expression detection level (>8,000-fold)
  • Applicable for a wide range of RNA samples with a broad range of input amount, including access to degraded samples such as FFPE

RNA-Seq is useful to apply in many scientific areas, including medical, agricultural, food, and biological sciences. RNA-Seq can be used for differential gene expression, variation detection, allele-specific expression, systems biology, and single-cell analysis.
