RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)

Input requirements:

  • RNA samples with GC code labels
  • Pairwise groups (GC codes) to compare for DE Analysis

Output:

  • Raw data: fastq-files
  • Aligned data: BAM-file
  • Counting data data: txt file
  • Differential expression report

All samples should be stored and shipped at -80 °C. In case your samples don’t meet the requirements, please contact us at rnaseq@genomicscore.be.

For all projects, please make sure to always schedule a meeting with us before bringing your samples.
