Whole Genome Sequencing
In recent years, the declining cost of NGS has resulted in the increased use of broad genomic characterization approaches, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), for various research applications. This cost reduction has coincided with researchers’ need for more comprehensive molecular information in the disease areas of cardiology, endocrinology, rare disease, autoimmunity, and ever-increasingly, cancer. WGS [...]

miRNA Sequencing
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a small non-coding type of RNA molecule (18-40 nucleotides in length) that play a functional role in the regulation of RNA silencing and post-transcriptional gene expression. miRNA-Seq enables the investigation of the function of small RNAs and the evaluation of regulatory networks of miRNAs and their target genes. Technical Details Sequencing [...]

Transcriptome Sequencing
ACE Research Transcriptome The same accuracy and coverage enhancements of the ACE Research Exome (see above) are also incorporated into RNA analysis using our unique ACE Research Transcriptome enrichment protocol. Many clinical studies depend on tissue archives that have been fixed using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) procedures. This preservation process makes it difficult to obtain a [...]
