What a Single Cell Can Tell You: Exploring Gene Expression and Regulation of Single Cells

RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a fundamental technique for transcriptome profiling, facilitating the detection of gene expression changes across sample groups. Traditional RNA-Seq of complex tissues, however, is not capable of deciphering the unique biological processes that take place within each cell. As such, single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) has emerged for the analysis of RNA molecules from individual cells, uncovering detailed insights that are unobtainable through bulk RNA-Seq.

7 Ways Custom PCR Reagents and Plastics Fuel Product Development

One-size-fits-all solutions cannot address the full range of molecular biology needs in areas such as biotech, biopharma, or molecular diagnostics. When your requirements exceed the existing offerings of reagents and plastics on the market, Bio-Rad can partner with you and provide custom solutions. For a deeper look into these customization opportunities, we spoke with Anna Lai, manager of Bio-Rad’s custom reagents program, and Jennifer Placek, who manages the company’s custom plastics.

Retain Rare Transcripts While Depleting Ribosomal RNA

Bio-Rad is excited to announce the launch of SEQuoia RiboDepletion Kit, the newest product in the SEQuoia portfolio of RNA-Seq sample preparation products. This is a stand-alone, post–library depletion kit that eliminates RNA-Seq library fragments that originated from ribosomal RNA sequences. The kit exhibits superior performance in retaining small RNAs while minimizing the loss of rare transcripts and RNA from limited samples, providing a better approach to whole transcriptome profiling. Furthermore, the cost of rRNA depletion can be significantly reduced by pooling and depleting multiple libraries in a single ribodepletion reaction.
