Test Overview & Methodology
Bacterial stranded transcriptome sequencing delivers high-resolution, directional gene expression profiling using rRNA-depleted libraries and Illumina NovaSeq technology. The method preserves strand origin, enabling precise quantification of coding and non-coding bacterial transcripts for advanced research in oncology, anti-aging, and microbiome science.
| Feature | Our Test (Strand-Specific RNA-Seq) | Closest Alternative (Non-stranded Microarray) |
|---|---|---|
| Strand Orientation | Directional – distinguishes sense/antisense | Blind to strand origin |
| Technology | Illumina NovaSeq with rRNA depletion | Hybridization-based microarray |
| Turnaround Time | 5 weeks (cold-chain integrity maintained) | 8–10 weeks, limited by probe design |
| Dynamic Range | Up to 10⁶ – single-transcript resolution | Restricted by probe saturation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Bacterial stranded transcriptome sequencing provides exceptional transcriptional granularity for research applications. Results must be interpreted alongside full clinical history, culture data, and host-response markers. This test is a powerful research adjunct, not a standalone diagnostic tool."
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics | DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Medication Advisory: Continue all prescribed medications unless directed otherwise by your treating physician. This test does not replace clinical management or therapeutic decision-making.
Exclusion Criteria & Urgent Care Guidance
- Sample unsuitable if extracted RNA RIN is below 7 or if whole blood is hemolyzed.
- Not intended for emergency diagnosis; in acute febrile illness, seek urgent medical care immediately.
- Patients with active systemic infection may require stabilization before elective phlebotomy.
- Test results must be reviewed by a qualified investigator; not for direct therapeutic decision-making.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does bacterial stranded transcriptome sequencing detect?
This test maps all actively expressed bacterial genes in your sample, revealing which transcripts are turned on and from which DNA strand they originate.
2. How is the sample collected, and can I have it done at home?
Our VIP mobile phlebotomist visits your home between 8 AM and 11 PM to draw a whole blood sample in a PAXgene RNA tube, ensuring stability during transport.
3. What is the turnaround time and what factors affect it?
You will receive your comprehensive report within 5 weeks; library preparation and NovaSeq sequencing depth require rigorous quality control steps.
