Biogazelle mRNA Sequencing

Biogazelle has launched its mRNA sequencing service for human plasma and other bodily fluids. The company uses massively parallel sequencing to quantify and characterize mRNA molecules in low volumes of plasma and can detect between 6,000 and 8,000 genes, it said. This type of analysis provides an order of magnitude more biomarkers than microRNA sequencing, and since it is a liquid biopsy-based technology it allows for serial follow-up of patients to monitor them for disease, the company added.
