RNA SEQUENCING
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a powerful method for studying the transcriptome qualitatively and quantitatively. It can identify the full catalog of transcripts, precisely define the structure of genes, and accurately measure gene expression levels.
GENEWIZTM RNA sequencing services from Azenta provide unparalleled flexibility in the analysis of different RNA species (coding, non-coding, and small transcripts) from a wide range of starting material using long- or short-read sequencing. Our US-based processing and support provides the fastest and most reliable service for North American customers.

Tech Note | High-Fidelity Production of In Vitro Transcription Plasmids with Long Poly(A) Sequences
Poly(A) tail sequences can impact the integrity of your mRNA plasmids for in vitro transcription. While longer poly(A) tails have been shown to increase their stability, tails greater than 100 bases are susceptible to truncations. Learn how the proprietary mRNA plasmid preparation protocol from Azenta can help you generate higher yields and preserve poly(A) tails of greater lengths compared to standard protocols for high-fidelity templates in our tech note.
Tech Note | Full-Length RNA-Seq: A Novel Method to Assess Sequence Integrity for RNA Therapeutics
Strict quality control is required to maintain the integrity of manufactured products for RNA therapies, but current assays often present limitations. Learn how the novel full-length RNA-Seq approach from Azenta allows you to preserve the entire length of and effectively sequence the poly(A) tails of your mRNA products.
Quick Start Guide | Exploring Bioinformatics for Genome and Transcriptome Sequencing Data
For those new to bioinformatics, analyzing massive amounts of NGS data can be a daunting task. Download Azenta’s bioinformatics quick start guide to learn how to analyze whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data with bioinformatics tools to reveal biological insights for your research.
Webinar| Non-Classical Sources of Tumour-Specific Antigen in Checkpoint Inhibitor Response
Developing immunotherapies for cancer can be difficult due to the variation of immune response from patient to patient. In this webinar, Dr. Litchfield from UCL Cancer Institute presents his team’s exploratory research using a multiomics approach to better understand the diversity of immune response to cancer and highlights their findings of an alternative source of a tumour-specific antigen in checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) response.
Webinar Series | Advancing Transcriptomics: Gene Expression Screening, Single-Cell RNA-Seq, and Beyond
With this two-part webinar series, go beyond traditional transcriptomics and learn about the various NGS approaches available for gene expression analysis. In part 1, we take an in-depth look at various gene expression approaches, including RNA-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq, digital spatial profiling, and more. In part 2, we explore the data generated from these approaches and how they can complement each other and confirm findings.
RNA-Seq Bioinformatics Workshop & Roundtable Discussion
RNA-Seq bioinformatics can be complex and difficult to decipher. To help make it more approachable, this workshop and roundtable discussion, led by Azenta Life Sciences' bioinformatics manager Brian Sereni, explores the bioinformatics pipeline, explains NGS results, and addresses common challenges and FAQs for RNA-Seq bioinformatics analysis.
Tech Note: Add More Life to Your Data: Optimizing Single-Cell RNA-Seq with Dead Cell Removal
Obtaining samples with high cell viability can be difficult for many experiments but is necessary for success on the 10x Genomics® Chromium™ platform. This tech note describes how Azenta scientists used optimized single-cell workflows, including dead cell removal, to overcome low viability and generate high-quality sequencing data.
Case Study: Uncovering Cell Type-Specific Expression Profiles in the Tumor Microenvironment with Ultra-Low Input RNA-Seq
Biomedical specimens are often restricted to minute quantities, posing major limitations to RNA-Seq. This case study shows how approximately 50 sorted cells from a glioblastoma can produce transcriptomic data comparable to RNA-Seq experiments that use millions of cells.
Case Study: Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis Identifies Rare Drug-Resistant Cancer Stem Cells
Cell populations are rarely homogeneous and synchronized in their characteristics. Standard RNA-Seq approaches are limited to reporting general expression levels thus omitting minor subpopulation profiles. This study highlights new single-cell RNA sequencing capabilities for identifying rare cells, characterizing their transcriptomes, and discovering potential biomarkers.

Blog | Fine-Tuning mRNA Structure for Better mRNA Therapies
The structure of mRNA has been known for decades, but only in recent years have researchers unlocked its potential for therapeutic development. With the right delivery vehicle, mRNA products can replace defective proteins in the cell, generate antigens for immunization (e.g., COVID vaccines), or edit the genome via CRISPR technology. Let’s review the structural features of a functional mRNA molecule and discuss how to optimize these for therapeutic applications.
