Brand Name or Equal:

Custom target capture kits tailored for RNA-seq applications allow rapid, selective target enrichment for next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Sequencing of total RNA in a sample (RNA-Seq) is a powerful NGS technique for directly assessing signals of gene expression in a sample. However even with widely-used methods of removing uninformative transcripts prior to total RNA-Seq (e.g. rRNA removal), total RNA-Seq samples are still highly complex, and typically require deep sequencing to fully resolve the signal of relatively rare transcripts of interest. With myBaits Custom RNA-Seq hybridization capture kits, it is easy to design a customized enrichment panel for just your genes of interest, which can then be used to “enrich” those targets from a complex NGS library prior to RNA-Seq. In-solution hybridization capture reduces per-sample sequencing costs by orders of magnitude while still preserving the essential gene expression signals.

Daicel Arbor Biosciences’ proprietary oligo synthesis platform allows flexible probe production with competitive pricing. We offer a broad range of panel sizes that can accommodate any size target from a single locus to tens of thousands of loci, as well as an assortment of kit reaction sizes to accommodate any number of samples. Our easy protocol delivers consistently reproducible results, and our team of expert scientists will assist you with a complimentary bait design and experimental design advice. If a complete solution is needed, from sample preparation to data delivery, our myReads services team is available to handle projects of any size.
