What is NanoString sequencing?
In NanoString, sequence-specific mRNA probes are used to directly detect gene expression and return counts of each target molecule. The color codes are then digitally analyzed by the NanoString nCounter Analysis System to generate counts of each target molecule.
When was NanoString founded?
2003
What does NanoString technology do?
NanoString is a fully automated technology ensuring precise and reproducible quantification of either RNA or DNA, making it compatible with clinical research. The technology is robust across many sample types and qualities, both tissues of poor and varying quality can be used, including FFPE tissue sections.
When did NanoString go public?
Jul 5, 2013
What is NanoString RNA-seq?
The NanoString platform counts individual mRNA transcripts. It's useful for many potential applications, such as studying gene regulatory pathways, diagnostics, validating gene expression experiments in disease studies, including cancer, and ultimately generating highly translatable data for clinical use.
Is NanoString a microarray?
For example, NGS involves an amplification step, whereas NanoString does not, while microarray involves a hybridization step. NanoString (nCounter) has previously been used to validate the results of other platforms, including validation of RNA Seq25.Jun 3, 2015
