Metatranscriptome Sequencing
Service Features
● rRNA depletion followed by directional mRNA library preparation.
● Sequencing on Illumina NovaSeq.
Service Advantages
● Study the changes of complex microbial communities: at the transcriptional level and explore potential new genes.
● Explaining microbial community interactions with the host or environment.
● Comprehensive bioinformatic analysis: providing insights on community taxonomic and functional compositions, as well as differential gene expression analysis.
● Extensive gene annotation: using up-to-date gene function databases for informative gene expression information of microbial communities.
● Post-Sales Support: Our commitment extends beyond project completion with a 3-month after-sale service period. During this time, we offer project follow-up, troubleshooting assistance, and Q&A sessions to address any queries related to the results.
