Overview

The TruSight RNA Pan-Cancer Panel offers in-depth and cost-effective assessment of cancer-related RNA transcripts in limited and degraded samples on a benchtop sequencing system.

  • Industry-validated content for a comprehensive view of 1385 genes implicated in cancer pathways

  • Comprehensive view of cancer pathways enabling interrogation of gene expression levels, variants, and gene fusions

  • Low-input protocol for most sample types, including formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples

Efficient analysis of difficult samples

Libraries can be prepared from as little as 10 ng of total RNA input (or 20 ng from FFPE samples). The focus on a subset of relevant genes enables RNA-Seq with high sensitivity.

Intuitive cloud-based data analysis

Analysis can be performed using the BaseSpace RNA-Seq Alignment App, which provides gene expression profiles, identifies gene fusions, and reports single nucleotide variants and small indels, offering a comprehensive, intuitive solution to cancer researchers.

Specifications


Required products

Requires purchase of TruSight RNA Pan-Cancer Panel Set A and/or B. Each set includes library preparation reagents and oligos for 48 samples with 12 indexes. Each index is sufficient for 4 individual samples. Both sets may be used together to pool up to 24 samples.

If using the MiniSeq System, reagents and library prep kits can be ordered together in the TruSight Pan-Cancer Set A MiniSeq kit.

FAQs

The TruSight RNA Pan-Cancer workflow involves six major steps:

  • Generating stranded RNA-Seq libraries
  • Hybridizing biotinylated probes to targeted regions
  • Capturing targets using streptavidin beads
  • Eluting captured fragments from beads
  • Generating clusters and sequencing
  • Analyzing data and calling gene fusions with BaseSpace RNA Alignment App

Learn more.

The probes are designed to target 1385 cancer genes and detect fusions by spanning all exons of every gene.

Run the RNA-Seq workflow (FASTQ only) on the MiSeq System and stream the data to BaseSpace Sequence Hub. The BaseSpace RNA-Seq Alignment App analyzes data from the TruSight RNA Pan-Cancer Panel, providing a simple results summary that includes a fusion table, variant table, and gene expression table. You may also use your own pipeline for analysis.
