The University of Michigan Bru-seq Lab is a core facility that provides nascent RNA sequencing using four techniques: Bru-seq, BruChase-seq, BruUV-seq, and BruDRB-seq. This service is all-inclusive, starting with cells and ending with basic data analysis. In addition, users will have access to our exclusive pipeline to perform further data analysis.

Our areas of expertise are RNA isolation, cDNA library preparation, and sequencing data analysis.
We serve researchers from the University of Michigan, and other institutions in the United States and around the world.
