Test Overview & Methodology
Bacterial Stranded Transcriptome Sequencing provides a comprehensive snapshot of active gene expression in bacterial communities. It utilises strand-specific RNA library preparation to preserve transcript orientation โ essential for accurate annotation of coding and non-coding elements, including antisense transcripts and small regulatory RNAs.
| Feature | Our Test (Stranded RNA-Seq) | Closest Alternative (Non-Stranded RNA-Seq) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Strand-specific, high-resolution transcript quantification | Ambiguous strand origin, lower accuracy in antisense transcripts |
| Method | Illumina NGS, rRNA depletion + directional library prep | Standard RNA-seq without strand retention |
| Turnaround Time | 8 weeks | 10โ12 weeks |
| Price | 3,500 AED | 3,000 โ 3,800 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasise that bacterial transcriptomic data must be interpreted in the full context of the patientโs clinical presentation and ongoing treatment. This test reveals gene expression patterns, not live pathogen detection. Always review results with your treating physician. Medication Warning: Do not alter or discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.โ โ Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA License 9294403
Advisory Notes
Bacterial transcriptome sequencing is a highly specialized test that reveals active bacterial gene expression but does not replace standard microbiological culture for acute infection diagnosis. Results must always be interpreted alongside clinical findings and in consultation with your treating physician. Do not alter your medication regimen without professional medical advice.
Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion criteria: Patients with acute febrile illness requiring immediate culture-based diagnosis; inability to provide a whole blood or bacterial culture sample of sufficient quantity.
- Emergency red flags: Signs of sepsis, organ failure, or severe bleeding โ seek immediate emergency medical care. This test is not intended for acute clinical crises.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is bacterial stranded transcriptome sequencing used for?
This advanced test analyses bacterial RNA to reveal active gene expression profiles, aiding research and clinical decision-making in infectious diseases, oncology, and autoimmune conditions. It provides strand-specific resolution, essential for understanding regulatory networks.
2. How long does it take to receive results?
Results are typically available within 8 weeks from sample receipt. The turnaround time accounts for comprehensive RNA extraction, rRNA depletion, library preparation, high-depth sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis.
3. Is home collection available for this test in the UAE?
Yes, our VIP mobile phlebotomy service collects samples from your home using ISO-certified cold chain packaging to ensure sample integrity from collection through to the laboratory.
