Small Molecules – Signal Transduction Application
• HEK293T Cells were treated with 90 different chemical inhibitors.
• The 421 Signal Transduction Gene Panel including the ten Housekeeping
reference and six gDNA Control genes were interrogated.
• In one day we went from total RNA to sequence ready libraries for all of the 96
samples. The final libraries were quantitated and the sequence-ready libraries
were pooled in equimolar and denatured using NaOH. Prior to loading onto a
NextSeq sequencing run the denatured libraries were diluted to the appropriate
input concentrationto obtain and generate suitable clusters on the NextSeq.
• The parameters of the NextSeq sequencing run were dual-indexed, single 151 bp
read with a Custom Sequencing Primer.

Editor's Notes

  • #17 across one to 96 samples simultaneously, thereby decreasing the cost per sample and data point
  • #20 HKG assays are used to normalize data to make sample-to-sample and run-to-run comparisons possible.
  • #27 Here is an example to demonstrate the capabilities of the QIAseq Targeted RNA system by profiling the expression of 100s of genes in a cell model system’s response to small molecules. The chemical inhibitors are the same as from the SureFIND Transcriptome PCR Array.
