Transcriptomics
Transcriptome Analysis (Full-Length RNA Sequencing)

Study of gene expression and transcript structure
through sequencing with Oxford Nanopore technology®.

Transcriptome analysis

Transcriptomics enables studying the functional dynamics of the cell through the analysis of RNA molecules expressed in a given biological condition.

While traditional methods fragment RNA losing information about the complete structure of transcripts, Oxford Nanopore technology enables full-length transcript sequencing, preserving information about the isoform structure.

Through the passage of native RNA or cDNA molecules full-length via nanopore, Oxford Nanopore measures current variations with characteristic features associated with the base sequence, enabling identification of:

With Direct RNA Sequencing it is also possible to sequence native RNA directly, avoiding retrotranscription and PCR amplification and reducing amplification bias.

Technological Platform

Transcriptomic analysis is performed on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies® platform, enabling sequencing of full-length transcripts and analysis of isoform structure without the need for short-read reconstruction.
