RNA sequencing is state-of-the-art technology for unbiased, specific and sensitive quantification of coding and non-coding RNA transcripts. In addition to classic RNA expression analysis, Biogazelle also exploits the structural information encoded in the transcriptome, such as splice variants, gene fusions, mutations, and RNA editing events. RNA sequencing is the preferred method for gene signature discovery, for the molecular characterization of tumors, to unveil disease mechanisms or discern patient subgroups, to gain a clear understanding of a drug mode of action and for many more applications. Biogazelle offers a complete solution for all RNA sequencing projects on human, mouse and rat samples supporting basic research, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials.
