CSEM has supported the Lausanne-based start-up Alithea Genomics in developing a technology capable of processing hundreds of ribonucleic acid (RNA) samples in a single tube, which translates to a significant reduction in reagents and manual effort in the overall workflow.
EPFL spin-off Alithea Genomics has developed a system that allows scientists to easily tag bulk RNA samples with molecular barcodes so they can be processed by the hundreds in one single tube. The technology promises to dramatically shorten and streamline sample preparation for RNA sequencing, which will enable new applications for this technology, such as biomarker discovery and drug development.
