Small RNA Discovery and Analysis

Small RNA Discovery and Analysis is a powerful Genome AnalyzerIIx application enabling small RNA profiling in any organism without any prior assumptions. Find novel small RNAs, characterize mutations, and analyze the differential expression of all small RNAs in your sample simultaneously.

With the Genome Analyzer, you can query more than ten million small RNA sequences in each channel of an 8-channel flow cell, and achieve unprecedented sensitivity and dynamic range for rare small RNA discovery and quantification.

Small RNA Highlights

  • Universal Platform: Analyze any small RNA without prior sequence or secondary structure information
  • Customizable Size Selection: Investigate any small RNA between 17 to 35 nucleotides
  • Broad Dynamic Range: Profile ~20 million small RNA sequences in each flow cell
  • Superior Data: Achieve high-quality sequence data and measure small RNA abundance over five orders of magnitude
  • Simple Workflow: Accelerate small RNA discovery and analysis with Illumina’s easy-to-use protocols and optimized kits
