SMART-Seq Pro Biomarker Discovery Contest
What else can you discover?
Unlocking the secrets of the transcriptome calls for full-length mRNA-seq. Takara Bio invented SMART-Seq Pro technology to unveil full-length transcripts from thousands of single cells. Our Cogent bioinformatic tools help you uncover new biomarkers such as splice variants, gene fusions, and SNPs that are missed with end-counting methods.
Let's turn your ideas into reality
Tell us what you want to discover with full-length sequencing and win a free single-cell transcriptomics study using your favorite cells. The service will include library prep using the SMART-Seq Pro Application Kit on the ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System, Illumina sequencing, and data analysis using our Cogent NGS tools. The grand-prize winner will receive the above service for free, and twenty-five runners-up will receive a “That’s Good Science” gift box.
Submit your proposal now
Please fill out the form below. In the last field of the form, describe your proposal for a single-cell full-length RNA-seq experiment in 500 words.
Please specify:
- What is the scientific question you are trying to answer?
- How could the data impact our knowledge of disease?
- How can full-length single-cell transcriptomic technologies help?
- What types of biomarkers do you want to discover?
- What cells do you want to use?
A panel of scientists will review all proposals submitted. A final winner will be selected based on feasibility, scientific impact, and level of innovation. Please submit your proposal by March 31, 2023. See Terms and Conditions for rules and eligibility.
