3’ mRNA-Seq services
Optimized and automated 3′ mRNA-Seq services for highly efficient, large-scale, and reproducible gene expression analysis.
3’ mRNA-seq services at TATAA Biocenter
3′-mRNA-seq only sequences the 3′ end of mRNA, simplifying library preparation and reducing the amount of sequencing required, making it a cost-effective option. It serves as a faster and more affordable alternative to full-length RNA sequencing when the goal is to measure transcript abundance rather than discover novel transcripts or splice variants.
- High-throughput, cost-effective gene expression profiling in large-scale drug screens
- Differentially expressed genes in degraded samples, such as FFPE
- Biomarker identification and target validation in high-throughput applications

3′-mRNA-seq sequences only the 3′-end of transcripts as a marker for the entire transcript, minimizing the amount of sequencing required.
