Single-cell mRNA isoform sequencing with Oxford Nanopore Technologies

17th September 2025  -  Categories: Research & Development

The transcription of genetic information into (m)RNA and the translation of mRNA into proteins regulate cellular functions and differentiation of cells into various tissues. By analyzing the type and amount of mRNA, gene expression studies are crucial in health and disease.

Adapter dilution and input optimisation for Qiagen QIAseq miRNA Library kit

7th May 2025  -  Categories: Research & Development

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA that play a critical role in regulating gene expressions that are important for a multitude of biological processes. In the preparation of miRNA sequencing libraries by using QIAseq miRNA library kit, adapter dimers might occur inadvertently and compromise the sequencing performance.
