Gene Expression

Home / Applications / Techniques & Featured Technique / Gene Expression

Gene Expression (GE) is a method to compare expression levels of mRNA, rRNA or small RNA between two samples (two different experimental conditions, disease). Differential expression of genes between samples can be studied using real-time PCR, Digital PCR, Transcriptome Analysis by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Gene Expression is a critical tool for many applications in Cancer research, copy number variation analysis, downstream of gene editing and silencing, Viral load analysis and several others.

Gene Expression Analysis by Sequencing

Transcriptome sequencing by next-generation sequencing enables the discovery of differentially expressed genes using a hypothesis-neutral approach. Sanger sequencing methods can also be used for gene expression profiling and analysis.

Gene Expression analysis by Real-time PCR

Real-time PCR is the gold-standard technique for validation of differential gene expression profiles. Our comprehensive offering of TaqMan Gene Expression Assays and flexible formats enable fast and cost-effective results.

Gene expression profiling, validation, and screening with OpenArray technology
Gene expression validation and screening with TaqMan Gene Expression array cards and plates
Gene expression analysis with TaqMan Gene Expression assays

Gene Expression quantification by Digital PCR

Digital PCR enables highly precise measurements and is able to resolve gene expression level changes of two-fold or less. Digital PCR can also be used to determine the absolute quantification of a transcript without the need for a reference gene.
