Life Technologies offers two great options for transcriptome analysis:
Whole transcriptome sequencing, or RNA-Seq, for both discovery and gene expression analysis. Use the Ion Proton™ System combined with Ambion® RNA purification and Ion Torrent™ library construction kits for identification and quantitation of both known and novel transcripts, including gene fusions and splice variants.
Ion AmpliSeq™ Transcriptome solution for gene-level expression analysis. Ideal for traditional gene expression analysis, the Ion AmpliSeq™ Transcriptome Human Gene Expression Kit targets >20,000 RefSeq transcripts using as little as 10 ng RNA input with a fast and FFPE-compatible workflow.
