Whole transcriptome sequencing service

GCLP-compliant Total RNA-Seq services for drug development, supporting projects from small sample sets to large clinical cohort studies.

Comprehensive whole transcriptome analysis at TATAA

Total RNA-Seq captures both coding (mRNA) and non-coding RNAs, including transfer RNA (tRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). If rRNA is not of interest, it is typically removed, as it can dominate sequencing reads and constitute up to 80–90% of total RNA.

  • Discover novel RNA species and biomarkers
  • Identify non-coding RNA roles in disease mechanisms
  • Comprehensive transcriptome profiling for target identification
