RNA Seq quantification can be defined as a ‘light’ version of RNA Seq Transcriptome. For RNA Seq quantification, BGI uses SE50 sequencing strategy to quantify the expressed genes. For RNA Seq Transcriptome, we use PE100/PE150 sequencing strategy, which not only quantifies the expressed genes but also analyses the transcript structures such as: InDel, RNA splicing, fusion genes etc. If a customer only wishes to focus on gene expression analysis, RNA Seq Quantification is recommend. If a customer wants a structural analysis of the transcripts, RNA Seq Transcriptome is recommend.
For gene lists of BGI’s cancer panels please contact your Project Manager or email info@bgi-international.com
