Overview
Eukaryotic Stranded Transcriptome Sequencing is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique that captures the entire transcriptome of eukaryotic organisms, including both protein-coding mRNAs and non-coding RNAs such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). The 'stranded' approach preserves the orientation of RNA transcripts, allowing accurate detection of antisense transcription and strand-specific expression. Reference-based analysis aligns the sequenced reads to a reference genome or transcriptome, enabling quantification of gene expression, identification of alternative splicing events, detection of post-transcriptional modifications, and discovery of novel transcripts. This comprehensive analysis provides a detailed snapshot of the transcriptional landscape, which is crucial for understanding cellular function, development, and disease mechanisms. DNA Labs India offers this advanced test at INR 50,000, with a turnaround time of 8 weeks. The test is performed on extracted DNA samples, and home sample collection is available across major cities in India.

The primary purpose of this test is to provide a comprehensive and quantitative profile of the transcriptome in a given sample. It is used to identify differentially expressed genes, characterize alternative splicing, detect fusion transcripts, and quantify lncRNA expression. This information is valuable for research applications, biomarker discovery, and understanding the molecular basis of diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and developmental abnormalities. The test can also reveal novel transcripts that may serve as potential therapeutic targets.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between stranded and non-stranded RNA-seq?
Stranded RNA-seq preserves the orientation of RNA transcripts, allowing detection of antisense transcription and strand-specific expression. Non-stranded methods lose this information.
What is the turnaround time for this test?
The turnaround time is 8 weeks from sample receipt.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What type of sample is required?
The sample type is extracted DNA, but for RNA-seq, RNA is typically extracted from blood or tissue. Please confirm with our team.
Can this test detect lncRNAs?
Yes, the test includes analysis of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).
Is this test diagnostic?
No, it is a research tool and not intended for diagnostic purposes.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 50,000.
How should the sample be transported?
Samples should be transported on dry ice or in RNA-stabilizing solution.
What is the minimum RNA quantity required?
A minimum of 100 ng of high-quality RNA (RIN > 7) is required.
Can this test be used for cancer research?
Yes, it is commonly used to study gene expression changes in cancer.
Are there any fasting requirements?
No, fasting is not required.
How will I receive my report?
Reports are delivered via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
