Alithea Genomics
About Alithea Genomics
The startup develops a proprietary transcriptomics technology that optimizes the operational costs of RNA sequencing while significantly increasing sample throughput. This enables pharmaceutical companies to conduct more efficient biomedical research, addressing the high costs and limitations of traditional sequencing methods.
<problem> Traditional RNA sequencing methods can be expensive and have limitations in sample throughput, which can hinder biomedical research and drug discovery efforts. These limitations can make it difficult for pharmaceutical companies and research institutions to conduct large-scale gene expression studies in a cost-effective manner. </problem> <solution> Alithea Genomics offers transcriptomics solutions designed to optimize the costs and increase the throughput of RNA sequencing. The company's Mercurius™ DRUG-seq and BRB-seq technologies enable massive sample multiplexing, processing up to 384 library preps in a single tube, and can eliminate the need for RNA extraction. These solutions are compatible with diverse sample types, including purified RNA, cells, organoids, FFPE tissues, and blood samples, and support various sequencing options, from 3' to targeted and full-length RNA sequencing. Alithea Genomics provides both library prep kits and sequencing services, offering a streamlined workflow from sample to data in as little as two weeks. </solution> <features> - Mercurius™ DRUG-seq kits for extraction-free RNA sequencing directly from cell, organoid, and tissue lysates - Mercurius™ BRB-seq kits for bulk RNA sequencing from purified RNA samples - Massive sample multiplexing, enabling up to 384 library preps in a single tube - Compatibility with diverse sample types, including cells, organoids, FFPE tissues, and blood samples - Support for various sequencing options, including 3' mRNA-seq, full-length mRNA-seq, and targeted mRNA-seq - Custom-developed panels for targeted RNA sequencing, with up to 100 targets - Cell Lysis Modules for direct lysis from frozen cells, skipping RNA extraction steps - Gb-to-M reads converter and DNA µg-to-pmol converter tools </features> <target_audience> Alithea Genomics serves pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and crop science organizations seeking cost-effective, high-throughput RNA sequencing solutions for drug screening, biomarker discovery, and fundamental research. </target_audience> <revenue_model> Alithea Genomics generates revenue through the sale of library prep kits and by offering RNA sequencing services. </revenue_model>
