From reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to expression analysis and cloning, RNA extraction is a critical early step in many common molecular biology techniques. It is a challenging task that requires expertise, specialized equipment, and materials which if not correctly carried out correctly, can severely affect the outcomes of downstream applications. Many organizations ranging from research institutes, […]
7 key benefits to outsourcing Next Generation Sequencing Services (NGS Services)
Next-generation sequencing services (NGS services) have been transforming the field of genomics by allowing scientists to rapidly sequence genomes and transcriptomes at a much lower cost than previous technologies. NGS has become a powerful tool for understanding the genetic basis of diseases and biological processes and is utilized by small academic groups to large pharmaceutical […]
4 Major reasons researchers are outsourcing Neural Progenitor Cell (NPC) differentiation
Why are researchers outsourcing NPC Differentiation? NPC Differentiation applications can be vast, and could revolutionize treatment of neurological diseases – but why outsource it? Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are a type of multipotent, adult stem cell that possess the ability to differentiate into neural cells. NPCs differentiate into the glial and neural cell types that […]
Why are Researchers Outsourcing Whole Exome Sequencing? – 3 Powerful Reasons
In this blog we look at 3 powerful reasons researchers outsource Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and how it might be the right choice for your research. Across the globe researchers have been deciphering the genetic code to identify the sequences of nucleotides in the human genome that code for proteins. In many cases, they are […]

The repository contains extensive biomaterials that can be requested by scientists worldwide. The NINDS biobank stem cell collection currently contains 411 subjects, 169 of which have iPSC and 270 of which have fibroblasts and represents several neurodegenerative […]
Bulk RNA Sequencing vs. Single Cell RNA Sequencing – what’s the difference between these powerful techniques?
Bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) are both methods used to study gene expression profiles in cells. The major difference between the methods lie in the scale and resolution at which they analyze gene expression. Moreover, researchers employ these techniques for different applications – this blog looks at the differences between […]
