Messenger RNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) has revolutionized the exploration of cellular functionality, offering researchers unparalleled insights into the transcriptional landscape of cells. By leveraging high-throughput and precise next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, RNA-seq unveils gene expression profiles and highlights the dynamic variations within the transcriptome. This innovative technique selectively captures or enriches single-stranded messenger RNAs (mRNAs), converting them into complementary DNA (cDNA) for streamlined library preparation.
At Novogene, we employ the latest Illumina NovaSeq platforms for sequencing cDNA libraries. These platforms utilize a paired-end 150 bp sequencing strategy, providing high-quality short-read data. Leveraging our extensive experience and robust sequencing capacity, Novogene offers a diverse range of services to meet various research objectives. Our offerings extend beyond eukaryotic mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq). Novogene can also deliver data on prokaryotic transcripts, non-coding RNAs, full-length isoforms (long-reads), whole transcriptomes, and meta-transcriptomes.

Our mRNA-Seq workflow ensures high-quality results through a rigorous, step-by-step process:


Correlation heatmap among samples.

Differentially up-regulated and differentially down-regulated gene map

Cluster diagram of DEGs in samples from different groups

KEGG enrichment map of DEG

The genes within the same cluster exhibit similar trends in expression level changes under different treatment conditions.

The differential AS events identified by the rMATS software
The amount of data required for RNA-seq depends on the purpose of the research.
For gene-level differential expression with detection of lowly expressed genes, we recommend sequencing deeper, with at least 30–60 million reads depending on the expression levels (start with 30 million reads is reasonable with a good number of replicates).
For general gene-level differential expression, the ENCODE guidelines suggest 30 million reads per sample (stranded). However, 20 million reads per sample is often sufficient if there are a good number of replicates (>3).

Our platform offers tailored solutions for your unique experimental needs, ensuring a seamless experience from project design to data delivery.
