HIGH-THROUGHPUT GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING & REGULATION

SeqMatic offers a variety of epigenome sequencing profiling services to generate data for the analysis of epigenetic modifications and the impact on gene regulation. Our laboratory employs Illumina NovaSeq platforms for high-throughput epigenomic profiling.

Comprehensive Analysis Services

Our laboratory supports research studies across diverse genome, transcriptome and epigenome applications for many organisms. Profiling services are mostly engaged by research studies that investigate the various aspects of chromatin architecture. 

Available epigenomic analysis methods include DNA methylation (bisulfite sequencing), Single-cell ATAC-Seq and Bulk ATAC-Seq for chromatin accessibility, ChIP-Seq for examining transcription factor binding. We also offer Multiomics for integrated ATAC-Seq and gene expression analyses.

SeqMatic offers Bulk ATAC-Seq services for efficient detection of chromatin accessibility and its impact on gene regulation, cell fate determination, and disease processes. The Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing utilizes a hyperactive Tn5 transposase method, which allows for bulk processing. The Tn5 transposase is used to insert sequencing adapters into open chromatin regions. By capturing temporal changes in chromatin accessibility, ATAC-Seq provides valuable insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive biological processes and disease progression.

When analyzing changes over time in ATAC-seq data, a primary focus is on identifying the open chromatin regions (OCRs) that undergo changes throughout the process. In this context, the input for analysis consists of the differential OCRs between each pair of time points. Unlike pseudotime analysis in single cells, bulk ATAC-seq data is generated at predetermined time points. This eliminates the need to infer the temporal order between samples.

DNA methylation is an important mechanism in the field of epigenetics. This process involves the addition of a methyl group to a molecule, leading to changes that can influence the expression of certain genes and impact biological functions. Gene expression research studies engage SeqMatic methylation services for genome-wide analysis as well as targeted approaches.

SeqMatic’s high-throughput targeted bisulfite sequencing (Methyl-Seq) solutions enable the evaluation of site-specific DNA methylation changes and the identification of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) within genomes.

The SeqMatic comprehensive methylation analyses provide valuable insights into methylation patterns at a single nucleotide level for a number of applications including the study of disease states such as cancer, monitoring embryonic development, and advancing research in the field of agricultural plants.

ChIP-Seq is a powerful method that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to conduct comprehensive surveys of gene regulation on a genome-wide scale. The Seqmatic laboratory offers ChIP-Seq as a valuable tool to investigate protein interactions with DNA and the binding sites of transcription factors. This technique is particularly useful in research projects focused on understanding the progression of cancer and other diseases. By generating millions of counts across multiple samples, ChIP-Seq yields important data and insights into gene regulation. One of the key advantages of the ChIP-Seq method is its compatibility with various types of input DNA samples. It enables the identification of DNA targets bound by transcription factors and histone modifications throughout an organism’s entire genome. Moreover, when combined with RNA sequencing and methylation analysis, ChIP-Seq unveils intricate gene regulation networks. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how transcription factors interact with DNA and the impact on gene expression.
