Transcriptomics Services: From raw RNA‑Seq data to differential gene expression and functional interpretation.

 

 

 

Tailored Transcriptomics Services for microbial and host transcriptomes.

What is Transcriptomics and Why Does It Matter

Transcriptomics is the study of the transcriptome, the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by cells under specific conditions. Unlike genomics, which reveals the genetic potential of an organism, transcriptomics provides a dynamic snapshot of gene activity, showing how organisms respond to stimuli, environments, or treatments.

While genomics, metagenomics, or microbiome profiling tell us who is present, our transcriptomics services reveal what they’re doing — identifying genes that are actively expressed and how their expression changes across conditions.

 

This information is crucial for:

  • Understanding functional responses to stress or treatment

  • Identifying biomarkers or drug targets

  • Exploring regulatory pathways and gene networks

What Can You Achieve with our Transcriptomics Services?

Transcriptomic analysis opens a window into the functional biology of your system. By analyzing RNA expression, you can move beyond the question of who is present to understand how they respond, adapt, or interact. Whether you’re studying microbes, hosts, or mixed communities, our transcriptomics services deliver actionable insights across multiple biological levels.

  • Identify Key Regulatory Genes

    Uncover transcription factors and regulators that control pathways of interest — from virulence to stress response.

  • Compare Gene Expression Across Conditions

    Understand how gene activity shifts between time points, treatments, or environments, revealing differential patterns of expression.

  • Explore Pathway Activation and Suppression

    Assess which biological pathways are turned on or off under specific conditions using enrichment analysis and pathway databases.

  • Support Hypothesis-Driven or Exploratory Research

    Generate new hypotheses or validate existing ones by measuring transcript-level responses in a high-throughput, quantitative way.

Applications of our Transcriptomics Services

Functional Genomics

Identify which genes are up- or downregulated under different conditions, complementing genome annotation with real-time gene expression data.

Host–Microbe Interaction Studies

Reveal how hosts and microbes influence each other at the gene expression level — a powerful extension of microbiome profiling.

Comparative Transcriptomics

Compare expression profiles across strains, species, or experimental conditions to identify pathways involved in resistance, adaptation, or virulence — often alongside comparative genomics.

Drug & Treatment Response

Understand how organisms respond at the molecular level to antibiotics, stress, or compounds, enabling biomarker discovery and precision intervention strategies.

Environmental or Evolutionary Stress Responses

Explore how transcriptomes shift in response to temperature, salinity, pH, or nutrient limitation — ideal for researchers working with metagenomic or environmental RNA samples.

Integration with Other -Omics

Combine transcriptomic data with proteomics and metabolomics for systems-level understanding of cellular regulation.

Transcriptomics Services Workflow

Our Transcriptomics Services

We provide complete RNA-Seq analysis services for microbial, host, or environmental transcriptomes. From raw reads to publication-ready visualizations and statistics, our workflows are tailored to your experiment, organism, and question — whether you’re exploring differential gene expression, functional pathways, or stress responses.

Quality Control 

We begin by assessing raw data quality with tools like FastQC and trimming low-quality bases or adapters using fastp or Trimmomatic, ensuring clean input for alignment.

Read Mapping & Quantification

Reads are aligned to a reference genome or transcriptome using STAR, HISAT2, or Salmon for fast, accurate quantification of gene or transcript expression.

Differential Expression Analysis

We identify genes with statistically significant expression changes between conditions using DESeq2, edgeR, or limma-voom, with full model transparency and p-value correction.

Functional Enrichment & Pathway Analysis

Enriched pathways and GO terms are detected to interpret the biological meaning of gene expression changes using tools like ClusterProfiler, GSEA, or KEGG/Reactome mapping.

Visualization & Reporting

You’ll receive volcano plots, heatmaps, PCA plots, and other visuals that clearly communicate your transcriptomic trends and clustering patterns.

Custom Comparisons & Metadata Integration

We adapt our models to your study design — time series, multifactorial comparisons, batch correction — and include relevant metadata in visualizations and stats.

Frequently Asqued Questions (F.A.Q.)

Q1. What kind of data do you accept for your Transcriptomics services analyses ?

We primarily work with RNA-Seq FASTQ files from Illumina sequencing (single- or paired-end). If you have aligned data (e.g., BAM), we can adapt our workflow — just let us know.

Yes! Our Transcriptomics Services include project design support to help define conditions, replicates, and contrasts, ensuring your design is statistically sound and biologically relevant.

We use tools like FastQC, Trimmomatic/fastp, STAR, Salmon, DESeq2, limma, and ClusterProfiler, adapting the workflow based on your organism and research question.

Yes! All our pipelines are customizable. Let us know if you need specific comparisons, metadata integration, or custom visual styles for figures.

We apply appropriate normalization techniques (e.g., variance-stabilizing transformation) and can incorporate batch correction if needed — all steps are documented and transparent.

Turnaround is typically 5–10 business days, depending on dataset size and project complexity. Let us know if you have a deadline!
