With the increasing number of vendors selling library construction kits and reagents library construction may seem to be a fairly straightforward step in the sequencing process. And for many researchers it can be for most libraries once you have sample QC steps in place and completely understand the process. There are however exceptions. One of which are mate pair libraries. There has been...

Since it's inception, RNA-seq has been compared to microarray technology as a means of generating transcriptome information. Both follow a similar path to answering a biological question. This begins with experimental design, followed by data acquisition, and finally analysis and interpretation. However, there are a few key differences between the technologies, and here at Cofactor, we...

Cofactor was featured in the February edition of Nature Methods in the Product Focus on sequencing section for the spike-in RNA controls we've introduced as part of our RNA-seq services. These controls, developed by the External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC) paired with our analysis pipelines, provide a standard we use to normalize samples.
As the first commercial sequencing...
