Service Workflow
In the sample preparation phase, an initial bulk RNA extraction trial is performed to ensure a high-quality RNA can be obtained. In the tissue optimization stage the sections are stained and visualized and the permeabilization conditions for mRNA release from tissue are optimized. The optimized protocol is then applied during library construction, followed by sequencing and data analysis.
The complete service workflow involves real-time updates and client confirmations to maintain a responsive feedback loop, ensuring smooth project execution.
Includes the following analysis:
Data Quality Control:
o Data output and quality score distribution
o Gene detection per spot
o Tissue coverage
Inner-sample Analysis:
o Gene richness
o Spot clustering, including reduced dimension analysis
o Differential expression analysis between clusters: identification of marker genes
o Functional annotation and enrichment of marker genes
Inter-group Analysis
o Re-combination of spots from both samples (eg. diseased and control) and re-cluster
o Identification of marker genes for each cluster
o Functional annotation and enrichment of marker genes
o Differential Expression of the same cluster between groups
Inner-sample Analysis
Spot clustering
Marker genes identification and spatial distribution
Inter-group Analysis
Data combination from both groups and re-cluster
Marker genes of new clusters
