Learn how your plants respond to environmental stressors

There are several molecular methods to explore plant response to specific conditions. Among all the methodologies based on gene expression, RNA-seq offers a powerful, cost-effective tool for global gene expression analysis. Screening for genes differentially expressed in a given condition, such as exposure to a biotic or abiotic stressor, can provide extremely useful information which can be used in plant genetic improvement programmes.

At AllGenetics, we analyse the high-throughput sequencing data obtained from the plant transcriptome in order to identify candidate genes underlying phenotypic traits of interest.

The graph shows a typical workflow of a RNA-seq analysis aimed at detecting genes of agronomic importance for the Agriculture industry. It is composed of various steps: RNA isolation from plant material, library preparation, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis.

Step 1

We isolate RNA from your plant samples.

Step 2

We purify the RNA fraction you are interested in (total RNA, mRNA, small RNAs...) and prepare cDNA libraries using the kits recommended by Illumina.

Step 3

We sequence the libraries using the Illumina NovaSeq technology. Millions of reads per library are obtained in this step.

Step 4

We analyse the high-throughput sequencing data obtained in the previous step.
