Frequently Asked Questions
Can RNA-Seq be performed on low-input or FFPE RNA samples?
Yes, Zymo Services supports low-input and FFPE-derived RNA using validated stranded total RNA-Seq workflows. Each sample undergoes quality assessment, and if quality concerns are identified, our team will review the results with you and discuss the best path forward.
Does Zymo’s RNA-Seq service include RNA extraction?
Yes. Zymo Services offers a complete RNA-Seq workflow, from project consultation and sample stabilization to RNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis. Providing consistent and high-quality results.
How do I ship RNA samples for sequencing?
RNA samples can be shipped on dry ice or stabilized in DNA/RNA Shield and shipped at ambient temperature. Shipping instructions are provided after quote confirmation.
What is the difference between total RNA-Seq and 3’ mRNA-Seq?
Total RNA-Seq captures both coding and non-coding RNA with coverage across entire transcripts. In contrast, 3’ mRNA-Seq focuses on the 3’ end of protein-coding transcripts for efficient gene expression quantification. The best approach depends on the study goal and desired data depth.
For a more detailed comparison, read our guide "Considerations for Choosing between Total RNA-Seq and 3’ mRNA-Seq."
Do you offer CAP/CLIA-compliant RNA-Seq services?
Yes. CAP/CLIA RNA-Seq services are available for projects requiring testing in a certified laboratory. Contact our team to discuss your project requirements and determine the most appropriate workflow.
