RNA Sequencing Services
The Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics has been providing next generation sequencing sequencing services to the research community since 2009. We have experience using a wide variety of RNA sequencing protocols allowing us to tailor our services to your research project. The Centre provides excellent project support, assisting with design and approach and delivers high quality data at competitive prices.
To ensure quality we:
- perform extensive QC checks on your RNA samples
- minimise PCR cycles, thereby reducing the number of duplicate reads in your data
- only use stranded kits to increase mapping accuracy
If required we can provide a rRNA removal service for:
- Human/Mouse/Rat
- Bacteria
- Plant Leaf/Seed/Root
- Yeast
Further information on rRNA kit species compatibility can be found on Illumina’s website.
The RNA sequencing services that we offer are summarised in the table below. Please contact the Centre for further information or a quote.
