Our Whole Transcriptome Sequencing offer
Whole Transcriptome mRNA-Seq
If you would like to look at gene expression only, we recommend our Gene Expression Sequencing Service. However, if you want to get the deepest insight into mature, polyadenylated RNAs and identify isoforms and alternative splicing, among other things, the Whole Transcriptome mRNA Sequencing Service is a perfect choice.
Our Whole Transcriptome mRNA Sequencing workflow includes a poly(A) selection step.
Benefits
- Full focus on the coding, mature polyadenylated transcripts
- Ideal for low-input materials
- UMIs included
Applications
- Gene and transcript expression analysis
- Isoform identification
- Alternative splicing patterns identification, including exon-intron boundaries and gene fusions
- SNP detection
- Whole blood mRNA-Seq
Whole Transcriptome Total RNA-Seq
The total RNA-Seq approach offers the most comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome. It is an ideal choice if you deal with RNA degradation, e.g., after FFPE fixation and laser microdissections. We know how precious these samples are and how challenging obtaining transcriptome profiles from them may be. This is why our RNA experts have developed workflows allowing us to process, prepare, and analyze these challenging samples, including a step of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) depletion, to allow more sequencing reads to be focused on desired transcripts, especially if you are interested in lowly abundant transcripts.
Benefits
- Compatible with low-input material
- Ideal for low-quality RNA
- UMIs included
- rRNA depletion for various species available
Applications
- Analysis of coding and various types of noncoding RNAs, including lncRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, circRNA, etc.
- Transcriptome assembly
- Isoform identification
- Biomarker identification
- SNP detection
- FFPE Transcriptomics
- Whole Blood Transcriptomics
- Plant Transcriptomics
- Bacteria Transcriptomics

Working with us
We offer different NGS Services packages. You can send us samples from which we will extract RNA (Start from Extraction) or purified RNA (Start from Library Prep). It is also possible to do “Sequencing only” projects of your prepared and pooled libraries, all library types are expected. Each service package can be further customized based on your sample type and requirements. Data Analysis is offered for each of our NGS services packages or as a service on its own (Lexogen Bioinformatics Services). We are also specialized in Custom Bioinformatics Solutions, e.g., for new pipeline developments.
