CD Genomics is a Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics solution provider with solid expertise in genomics and analysis of high-throughput sequencing data. We provide integrative microRNA solutions from microRNA target prediction to microRNA expression profiling, as well as other customized bioinformatics analysis. Please do not hesitate to discuss your project.

Overview

microRNAs (miRNA) are ~22 nucleotide long endogenous RNA molecules that resemble small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of the RNA interfering (RNAi) pathway. They play a vital role in post-transcriptional regulation of target genes by mRNA cleavage, direct translational repression and /or mRNA destabilization. Although thousands of miRNAs have been identified using high-throughput sequencing technologies. miRNAs are known to play important roles in organismal development, immunity and cancer. Aberrant alteration of the miRNA profile has been linked to the development of certain diseases. Correcting changed miRNAs by their mimics or inhibitors has been developed as potential therapeutic approaches. Emerging studies are focusing on miRNA therapeutic strategy for diagnostics and treatment of disease.

CD Genomics provides next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches coupled with bioinformatics analysis for miRNA expression analysis, contributing to understanding the dynamic level and complicated functions of miRNAs. Information on global miRNA expression and differentially expressed miRNAs is very important in elucidating mechanisms underlying disease onset and progression and discovering novel diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets. microRNA sequencing coupled with advanced bioinformatics pipelines enables fast and accurate profiling of miRNAs and identification of candidates for novel directions in therapy development. We can help you to get the most out of your NGS experiments by developing comprehensive data analysis strategies.
