Lexogen develops technologies and kits that enable the detailed analysis of the complete transcriptome as well as of individual RNAs of interest. This lunch-time seminar aims at giving an overview of the different RNA-seq applications and research approaches, and emphasis will be on recent developments for sRNA profiling, spike-in standards, full-length mRNA analysis and metabolic sequencing of RNA synthesis and degradation. The established QuantSeq technology is now being used for tag-based, cost-efficient gene expression profiling also of degraded and FFPE-sourced RNA, and a new, direct globin mRNA blocker strategy now makes QuantSeq ideally suitable for analyzing RNA from blood samples. Learn about RNA-seq in general and how to match your projects and ideas with available and upcoming methods.
