RNA Sequencing

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is used to reveal the presence, quantity and structure of RNA in a biological sample under specific conditions. Compared to hybridization-based RNA quantification methods such as microarray analysis, sequencing-based transcriptome detection can quantify gene expression with low background, high accuracy and high levels of reproducibility within a large dynamic range. In addition, transcriptome sequencing does not require an existing genome sequence and can detect mutations, splice variants and fusion genes that can not be detected by microarrays.

Our DNBSEQ™ Sequencing Technology

BGI RNA sequencing services are typically executed with our proprietary DNBSEQ™ NGS technology platform, for great sequencing data at the lowest cost in the industry.

DNBSEQ is a proprietary sequencing technology, first developed by BGI's Complete Genomics subsidiary in Silicon Valley, and can offer advantages in terms of lower amplification error rates and much lower duplication rates for some sequencing applications. In addition, studies have shown the index hopping rate in DNBSEQ platforms can be much lower when compared to that of other platforms.
