Overview

Although mRNA only accounts for about 3% of the total cellular RNA, it has always been the focus of research because it is ultimately translated into protein and participates in a series of biological processes such as the growth, development, and disease occurrence and development of organisms.

mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) is the use of high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence the entire mRNA of a specific cell in a functional state. It can comprehensively and rapidly obtain changes in gene expression profiles, and at the same time, it can also accurately analyze the sequence and structural variations of transcripts such as cSNP and alternative splicing through sequence information; in addition, it has unique advantages for detecting low-abundance transcripts and discovering new transcripts.

Advantages of mRNA sequencing and analysis:

• High Accuracy: Digitize the signal and directly determine the sequence of each transcript fragment.
• High resolution: Single-base differences caused by similar genes and alternative splicing in gene families can be detected.
• Wide detection thresholds: Detection thresholds spanning 6 orders of magnitude enable simultaneous identification and quantification of normal and rare transcripts.
• Large amount of information: In addition to the expression amount, it can also provide information such as transcript boundary identification, RNA editing, alternative splicing, and gene fusion.

Service Workflow

For mRNA sequencing of experimental samples, we followed the basic workflow shown below. At the same time, Creative Proteomics has developed a variety of novel sample preparation techniques, and we will adjust the experimental methods and optimize the experimental conditions according to the different properties of the samples.

Sample Requirements

• Cells: ≥ 2×10⁶
• Tissue: ≥ 50 mg
• Body fluids: ≥ 2-3 mL (whole blood, serum, plasma)
• Urine: ≥ 50 mL
• Cerebrospinal fluid: ≥ 5 mL
• Total RNA: ≥ 2 μg (OD260/280 ≥ 1.8; OD260/230 ≥ 1.5; no obvious degradation)
