Whole transcriptome sequencing
BostonGene’s whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS / RNA-seq) of nearly 20,000 genes enables the precise identification of gene fusions, expression levels and gene expression signatures in a CLIA/CAP environment.
Our comprehensive bioinformatic analysis offers in-depth insights into the tumor and its microenvironment (TME), driving complex biomarker discovery.

Gene expression analysis
- Single gene expression
Robust assessment of expression levels for over 20,000 genes. - Gene expression signatures
Multi-gene expression signatures accurately reflect the underlying biology of a specific cancer type
Additional RNA-seq capabilities
- TME analysis
- TCR/BCR repertoire
- HLA haplotyping
- Vaccines analysis
Transcriptomic analysis:
Incidence rate
Identifying diagnoses with the highest target expression or prevalence of a specific fusion for indication selection.
Potential adverse event assessment
Predicting on-target, off-tumor effects by evaluating target expression levels in normal tissues.
Discrimination between tumor and TME cell expression
Expression signals in a bulk RNA-seq sample can come from tumor, microenvironment (TME), or a mixture of both. An ML-based tool, Helenus, separates those signals for accurate expression assessment.

AI-based models for clinical outcome prediction
BostonGene specializes in advanced gene expression and signature analysis, empowering the development of predictive AI models.
Optimized RNA-seq protocols for FFPE samples
- Refined RNA extraction and sequencing protocols provide uniform gene body coverage, equivalent to that obtained with FF PolyA RNA-seq.
- Multi-step quality control ensures the integrity of each sample from RNA extraction to the analyzed data.
- Gene expression levels are orthogonally validated by qPCR.
