Introduction to RNA-Seq Analysis
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become a cornerstone technology for studying gene expression and understanding the transcriptomic landscape of biological samples. Our RNA-Seq analysis pipeline is designed to deliver robust, high-quality results, tailored to address a wide range of research questions.
What is RNA-Seq?
RNA-Seq is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique used to capture and quantify RNA molecules within a sample. This method enables the identification of genes that are actively expressed, the discovery of novel transcripts, and the characterization of isoforms, all at a genome-wide scale. By providing both qualitative and quantitative insights, RNA-Seq is a versatile tool for studying diverse biological systems.
Our RNA-Seq Analysis Workflow
At our bioinformatics lab, we employ a comprehensive RNA-Seq analysis pipeline that integrates state-of-the-art tools and methodologies to ensure accurate and insightful results. Key steps in our pipeline include:
- Reference Preparation: Constructing optimized references using the latest genome assemblies and annotation files to enhance alignment accuracy.
- Alignment and Quantification: Mapping raw sequencing reads to the reference genome, followed by quantification of gene and transcript abundance.
- Feature Counting: Summarizing read counts for genes and transcripts to facilitate downstream analysis.
- Differential Expression Analysis: Identifying genes and transcripts with significant expression changes between experimental conditions using statistical frameworks.
- Quality Control and Reporting: Generating detailed quality control reports to ensure data reliability and summarizing key metrics in user-friendly formats.
Applications of RNA-Seq
Our RNA-Seq pipeline supports a variety of research applications, including:
- Gene Expression Profiling: Understand how gene activity changes under different conditions.
- Differential Expression Studies: Identify genes and pathways impacted by experimental treatments or disease states.
- Transcript Discovery: Detect novel transcripts and alternative splicing events.
- Biomarker Identification: Discover potential diagnostic, prognostic, or therapeutic markers.
