Are you struggling to grasp the nuances of gene regulation beyond mere mRNA abundance, pinpoint actively translated drug targets, or unravel the intricate translational dynamics underlying disease mechanisms? Our ribosomal transcriptome analysis services help you accurately quantify protein synthesis and uncover novel biological insights through state-of-the-art techniques and comprehensive bioinformatics.
Ribosomal transcriptome analysis, primarily through ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq), offers a powerful lens into the dynamic process of protein synthesis. Unlike traditional RNA sequencing, which measures mRNA abundance, Ribo-seq quantifies active translation by sequencing mRNA fragments protected by ribosomes. This direct measurement of ribosome occupancy provides critical information on which genes are truly being expressed as proteins, their translation rates, and the precise regions being translated, including non-canonical ORFs. This methodology has revolutionized our understanding of gene regulation, revealing complex layers of translational control in health and disease.

Our streamlined and robust workflow ensures high-quality data and comprehensive analysis for your ribosomal transcriptome projects.
Our ribosomal transcriptome analysis services empower a wide range of research applications by providing direct insights into active protein synthesis. Key applications include:
Move beyond transcript levels to measure rates of active translation for a more accurate understanding of gene expression.
Identify and characterize previously unannotated ORFs, including small ORFs, upstream ORFs, and non-canonical translation initiation sites.
Investigate how cellular conditions, stress, disease states, or drug treatments specifically impact protein synthesis at the ribosomal level.
Accurately identify the start codons used for protein synthesis across the transcriptome.
Study ribosome pausing, elongation rates, and codon-specific translational speeds to understand the kinetics of protein synthesis.
Identify actively translated gene products that can serve as novel biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis, or therapeutic response.
Enhance the efficiency of protein expression in biotechnological applications by understanding and engineering translational bottlenecks.
We customize Ribo-seq workflows for your sample type, from delicate primary cells to clinical specimens. Optimized library prep and footprint enrichment ensure high-quality data, even with limited input.
