Next Generation Sequencing Services
NGS allows researchers to acquire a range of information in genome research, transcriptomics, epigenetics, and metagenomics, among others.
Phalanx Biotech Group provides NGS services using Illumina’s HiSeq 2500 and MiSeq platforms. Our staff will help you with experimental design, library prep and sequencing questions along the way.
Our NGS service offerings include:
RNA-Seq
RNA-Seq Service
RNA sequencing is a type of next-generation sequencing used to target regions of the genome that are transcribed into
messenger RNA (mRNA) and may subsequently translate into protein. RNA-seq is used to identify and quantify
transcriptional regulation of the genome.
Protocols specific to the library preparation stage are used to isolate mRNA and rid samples of rRNA, which comprises
approximately 80% of the RNA pool.
Typical sequencing configurations:
| Configuration | mRNA-seq |
|---|---|
| Library Preparation Protocol | Strand-specific, polyA Selection, paired-end |
| Recommended Throughput | 20-40 million reads per sample |
| Platform | Illumina HiSeq |
*Sequencing configuration is project specific.
Sample submission requirements for RNA-Sequencing:
| SAMPLE TYPE | AMOUNT | RIN | CONCENTRATION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total RNA in Rnase-free water, on dry ice | 2ug (min > 500ng) | 6.0 | 50 ng/uL |
RNA-Seq Applications:
RNA-seq may be used for gene expression profiling, identification of novel transcripts, identification of alternative splice events and transcriptome assembly.
Gene expression profiling by way of RNA-seq is utilized in drug development experiments, cancer research, gut microbiome studies and many more. Comparative analysis of transcript abundance between experimental groups provides unique insight into the interplay between gene and environment.
