Missed our webinar on making RNA-seq more practical for everyday research?

The recording of “3′ RNA-Seq for Everyday Sequencing: A New Paradigm for Transcriptomics” is now available to watch!

RNA-seq has transformed how we study gene expression, but cost, turnaround time, and workflow complexity can still make routine experiments challenging.

In this webinar, we cover:
🧬 Fast, affordable RNA-seq with 3′ end counting
📊 Automated analysis and an interactive results viewer
🔬 Real-world applications, including insights from Alex M. Abel (Co-founder and CSO at VelociTx Inc.) as our guest scientist

▶️ Watch the recording in the “Resource Center” section of the Plasmidsaurus website.

What are the dinos up to in lab today? 🧪

People say Plasmidsaurus is cute, but that’s the least interesting thing about us…

🧬🦠 Mycoplasma screening, now included with every Plasmidsaurus RNA-Seq result.

Starting now, every RNA-Seq result includes a mycoplasma screen at no extra cost, using the sequencing data already generated for your project. No extra sample or sequencing required.

We’ve also screened every RNA-Seq order placed since January 1, 2026, so you can revisit earlier results and check for reportable mycoplasma signals!

Choosing between Plasmidsaurus Marker Gene Sequencing (16S/18S/ITS) and Shotgun Metagenomics doesn't have to be stressful.

Marker Gene Sequencing reads full-length 16S, 18S, and ITS markers to give you a snapshot of taxonomy. Shotgun Metagenomics samples DNA from across the whole community, so you get taxonomy and functional potential from a single experiment.

The right choice comes down to the question you’re asking, the resolution you need, and what you want to do with the data.

Our latest blog breaks down how the methods work, the pros and cons of each, and how to pick the right fit for your next microbiome project.

You can learn a lot about someone from the way they name a sequencing order 😂

Here are a few that caught our attention in the Plasmidsaurus order queue (shared with permission from the customers who submitted them 🙂).

Which one's your favorite? And if you've got a chaotic order name of your own, we want to hear it!

This summer, high school juniors went beyond the classroom to explore bacterial genomics through the Summer Science Program from SSP International.

In the 2026 Bacterial Genomics program, students investigated how bacteria evolve under stress. Working in teams, they grew bacteria under selective pressure, sequenced evolved strains, and analyzed their genomes to identify mutations associated with stress resistance.

Plasmidsaurus was proud to support these students with whole genome sequencing for their research projects.

Swipe to see what the @summerscience students were up to! 🧬

Happy International Dog Day 🐶

Meet some of the dogs behind the Plasmidsaurus team. They may not know much about sequencing, but they’re highly qualified in cuteness.
