Plant BRB-seq service

The MERCURIUS™ Plant BRB-seq service offers a convenient and streamlined solution for transcriptomics projects of any size. Clients can send us purified plant RNA samples, which are always quality-checked before launching our Plant BRB-seq pipeline. During the process, we always keep clients informed at defined checkpoint so that we can decide together how to best proceed to the next steps.

Next generation sequencing and data pre-processing (including alignment to the genome of choice) are part of our standard service as well. As a result, we provide our clients raw data, sequencing and alignment reports, and gene count matrices which can be used for downstream gene expression analysis.
