Prokaryotic RNA Sequencing

Inquiry      >
Overview

Prokaryotic RNA sequencing refers to the use of next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence the transcriptome of prokaryotes (bacteria and archeae), and comprehensively and rapidly obtain all transcripts information (mRNA and non-coding RNA) of a single microbial colony or a microbial community. It has been widely used in various fields, such as basic science research, drug research and development.

Our Advantages:
  • Powerful supercomputing platform with experienced team of biometric analysis experts.
  • Flexibly conducted custom bioinformatics analysis according to clients' requirements.
  • Provide collection kits for oral and feces samples.
  • Validated and automated experimental process.

Introduction to Our Prokaryotic RNA Sequencing Platform

The prokaryotic RNA sequencing platform enables us to effectively study the transcript information of a bacterial sample in a specific time and space to find key functional genes by using Illumina HiSeq (PE150) or PacBio SMRT systems. Before sequencing, it should be noted that prokaryotic sequencing libraries are prepared based on rRNA depletion methods since prokaryotic mRNA does not have a poly(A) tail. This platform can be used for a variety of purposes: (i) accurate determination of the number of each transcript type and discovery of novel transcripts; (ii) determination of regions that show significant levels of antisense transcription; (iii) determination of gene structure and expression regulation; (iv) gene functional annotation via differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis; (v) on a microbial community level or a prokaryotic strain level.

Our prokaryotic RNA sequencing platform is suitable for strains with/without the reference genome. Our scientists utilize this platform to explore both non-coding RNA and RNA information, which provides an important tool for the screening of functional genes, molecular markers, and drug targets, biological metabolic regulation research, strain typing, and disease typing. The sequencing technology can be applied to many aspects of our lives, including environmental protection, clinical practice and research.

  • Environmental protection: super-bacteria that degrade benzene, petroleum, and heavy metals.
  • Clinical practice: taxonomic composition analysis of human microbiomes from tissues, oral cavity, intestinal tract, and feces.
  • Medical research: screening of microbial strains with activities of interest.
