Bulk RNA sequencing is an essential tool for transcriptome-wide studies, offering valuable insights into differential gene expression, alternative splicing, allele-specific expression, and time-series experiments. This technique enables a deep analysis of gene activity and transcriptional variations across conditions.
Our library preparation process begins with RNA as the starting material, employing Poly-A enrichment to selectively isolate mRNA. This ensures the highest-quality sequencing data, enabling precise and reliable gene expression profiling.
What Bulk RNA-seq is used for ?
| Differential Gene Expression | Transcriptome-wide Expression Profiling | Cost-effective, High-throughput Studies | ||
• Condition vs control comparisons • Drug or perturbation response • studies Time-course experiments | • Gene-level expression quantification • Pathway and functional enrichment analysis • Sample clustering and global expression patterns | • Large cohorts and biological replicates • Screening and pilot experiments • Projects requiring fast turnaround at low cost |
Multiple starting materials available, with optional rRNA depletion or mRNA enrichment during library preparation. High-quality QC and a variety of selectable data outputs.
You may provide purified RNA, or we can perform RNA extraction as the starting material.
