RNA-seq
Good science leaves no possibility uninvestigated—no matter how small the sample size or how varied the sample composition.
We offer exceptional tools for rapid and accurate transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We are continuously refining and building upon our core SMART (Switching Mechanism at the 5′ end of RNA Template) technology, which leverages the terminal transferase activity and template-switching capability of certain reverse transcriptases to capture full-length sequence information and incorporate adapter sequences to generate double-stranded cDNA.
