GATC Biotech provides information for research on cell function and on how changes in transcriptional activity may reflect or contribute to diseases.
PRLog - Mar. 12, 2014 - KONSTANZ, Germany -- GATC Biotech, today announced the launch of several novel products designed to explore, quantify, profile and discover transcripts. InViewTM Transcriptome EXPLORE and ADVANCE and InViewTM Transcriptome DISCOVER represent solutions enabling scientists to generate more valuable insights in transcriptomes derived from any sample. The new products add to GATC Biotech’s rapidly expanding InViewTM portfolio of standardised next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions designed to provide researchers with streamlined workflows of top-quality at a very competitive price.
The solutions cover a great variety of transcriptome sequencing projects and generate a comprehensive, genome-wide picture of gene-expression levels in different cells and thus provide a deeper understanding of what constitutes a specific cell type. This information is especially important for research on cell function and on how changes in transcriptional activity may reflect or contribute to diseases. The different packages are based on the best applicable library solution for eukaryotes or prokaryotes, the sample sequencing and the bioinformatics. Thereby raw data are processed within bioinformatics analysis and summarised in a ‘GATC Biotech Data Report’ providing the results in a clear, understandable and informative way.
"Introducing these standardised, reliable packages based on our long standing experience, we are pleased to improve the understanding how a cell works." said Dr. Tobias Paprotka, GATC Biotech’s Head of R&D. "These new products strengthen GATC Biotech’s NGS portfolio to study RNA expressed from the genome, revealing a more complex picture of the gene expression behind it all." he added.
Depending on the chosen service, both common and rare transcripts identification, analysis of differential gene expression, detection of rare and novel transcripts, alternative splicing as well as information on the orientation and structure of the transcript (strand specific information) is included. For projects without a reference genome, de novo transcriptome sequencing based on PacBio RS II can be added on request.
