We have been providing fast, affordable, top quality RNA sequencing services to researchers across the world for over 15 years. Contact us today with any questions for our project experts or learn more about our RNA sequencing services below.
We have been providing commercial RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) services for over 15 years. In this time, we have supported researchers across the world with RNA research projects spanning thousands of species and have sequenced many millions of RNA samples. Our mission is very simple - to deliver quality RNA data that enables cutting edge transcriptomics research at affordable pricing.
Our range of RNA sequencing services are offered across a variety of the industry's leading sequencing platforms. Our global network and scale of sequencing ensures economies of scale and operational efficiencies that keep our costs low, allowing us to pass on those savings to you, our valued partners.
So, whether you have single cell samples or low quality FFPE samples, are measuring gene expression for human disease related research or seeking to improve genome annotation with transcriptomic data, - we are confident our experts can help.

Key Service Details
• Typical 40 working days from sample QC acceptance to filtered raw data availability.
• Expedited services are available, contact your local BGI specialist for details.
• Reports and output data files are delivered in industry standard file formats: BAM, .xls, .png and FASTQ data.
BGI's Single Cell Sequencing services are typically executed with proprietary DNBSEQ™ sequencing technology platforms, for great sequencing data at some of the lowest costs 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.
