Overview
Eukaryotic smallRNA sequencing is a specialized next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique that profiles small non-coding RNA molecules, typically 20-30 nucleotides in length, including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). These molecules are critical regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, influencing processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and stress responses. Dysregulation of small RNAs has been implicated in numerous diseases, including cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections. This test involves isolation of small RNA from the provided sample, construction of a small RNA library, deep sequencing, and comprehensive bioinformatics analysis to identify and quantify known and novel small RNAs. The results can reveal disease-specific signatures, aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. DNA Labs India offers this advanced test at an affordable cost of INR 38,000, making it accessible to researchers and clinicians across India. The test is performed in our NABL-accredited laboratory using state-of-the-art platforms, ensuring high accuracy and reproducibility. With free home sample collection available in over 200 cities, we bring cutting-edge genomics to your doorstep.

The primary purpose of eukaryotic smallRNA sequencing is to comprehensively profile small RNA molecules in a biological sample. This helps in understanding gene regulatory networks, identifying biomarkers for early disease detection, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating response to therapy. It is also used in research to discover novel small RNAs and study their functional roles.

What diseases can this test help diagnose?
It can aid in diagnosing cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections by detecting abnormal small RNA expression.
Is this test covered by insurance?
Currently, this test is not covered by most insurance schemes. Please check with your provider.
What is the difference between smallRNA sequencing and mRNA sequencing?
SmallRNA sequencing focuses on small non-coding RNAs (20-30 nt) that regulate gene expression, while mRNA sequencing profiles protein-coding transcripts.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The risks are minimal, mainly related to blood draw or biopsy, such as slight bleeding or infection.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.
