Transcriptome / Gene expression

Since 1999, Skuldtech has provided gene expression profiling services through open system methods (Digital Gene Expression, SAGE), associated with sequencing/pyrosequencing and proprietary bioinformatics tools. Its high throughput platform is dedicated to the development and acquisition of genomic data through the analysis of gene expression and accurate gene identification and quantification processes. This tool can be used for identifying all the genes induced in each physiopathological situation in an exhaustive and sensitive manner. However, the genes are either already known or not and the genome of the organism is either sequenced or not.

All the results can be implemented in an interactive database and can be compared with thousands of gene profiles libraries, which have been gathered in a unique relationship database called Biotag. This database is an active and user-friendly website access tool, which enables to use and analyze “Digital Gene Expression” (SAGE) gene profiles. Thus, each user can easily search and compare the gene profiles he/she has selected, compare transcriptome libraries, design biomarker sets in a specific tissue and/or tumor, anticipate drug effects on complete organisms, etc.

Biotag covers different vegetal and animal organisms as well as H. sapiens, M. musculus, and model organisms such as D. melanogaster, C. elegans, or A. thaliana.
