With decades of experience in transcriptomics, genomics, and related fields of biology, our bioinformatics team is empowered to tailor new bioinformatics developments to your unique project. We offer various Custom Bioinformatics Solutions, including new tool and pipeline developments, by using state-of-the-art algorithms and computational methods. With our personal and customized approach, we deliver most reliable and accurate outcomes enabling you to differentiate and drive innovation. Post-project, we provide detailed documentation and reporting, as well as secure and full transfer of custom pipeline.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable researchers to investigate the genetic basis of biological function, variation, and disease with increasing depth and throughput. Various DNA sequencing approaches are available to facilitate numerous applications, including variant discovery, genome assembly, resequencing, phylogenetics, genotyping, and taxon identification.

DNA sequencing services from Lexogen can start with DNA extraction or library preparation, with optional target enrichment. We use top-quality library generation methods with customized sequencing and data analysis approaches according to individual project requirements and target applications. DNA extraction can be performed upon request, e.g., from cell pellets, fresh or flash-frozen tissues, and FFPE curls*.

We also offer various RNA sequencing options if you are also interested in studying the transcriptome.

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are less than 200 nt long, usually non-coding RNA molecules, that have key functional roles in mRNA turnover, translational regulation, and chromatin compaction, among others, and are important regulators of gene expression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the most well-known and studied class of small RNAs, which modulate protein expression through post-transcriptional regulation. Abnormal mechanisms of miRNAs are reported in various diseases, especially cancer. Nowadays, many miRNAs serve as biomarkers of cancer.

Lexogen’s Small RNA Sequencing service allows you to get a complete small RNA profile across the entire transcriptome, from miRNAs and siRNAs to piRNAs, snoRNAs, and others.

Ultra-low input RNA-Seq enables insight into gene expression profiles even when dealing with very low inputs. This is often the case when working with rare cell types, having access to a limited amount of material, or being interested in lowly abundant transcripts present only in a small population of cells. We have substantial experience making low and ultra-low input RNA-Seq work and providing accurate and reliable transcriptomic datasets from these limited samples. Our proprietary, high-definition technology enables us to work with RNA input as low as 10 pg and achieve unprecedented sensitivity and reproducibility, even with low-quality samples.
