Transcriptomics
Research Projects

From bulk tissue to single-cell resolution — rigorous, publication-ready transcriptomic workflows. We focus on solving your biological question, providing expert guidance rather than just running automated pipelines.

Applications

Transcriptomics powers discovery across the full spectrum of life science research.

Disease Mechanisms

Uncover gene expression dysregulation in cancer, neurodegeneration, autoimmune and rare diseases.

Drug Target Discovery

Identify novel therapeutic targets and characterize drug mechanisms of action at transcriptomic level.

Biomarker Development

Discover and validate expression-based biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis or treatment stratification.

Cell Type Characterization

Define and annotate cell populations with single-cell resolution in complex tissues and organoids.

Pathway & Network Analysis

Map regulatory networks and signaling cascades altered under your experimental condition.

Publication & Grant Support

Publication-ready figures, methods sections and supplementary data for high-impact journals.

Bulk RNA-Seq Analysis

Whole-transcriptome profiling from bulk tissue or cell populations. We go beyond standard pipelines with custom statistical modeling, ensuring your differential expression results are biologically meaningful, not pipeline artifacts.

Specialized RNA-Seq Modalities

Standard mRNA-Seq (Poly-A)

The industry standard for expression profiling in eukaryotes. Robust and precise quantification of protein-coding genes for comparative studies.

Total RNA-Seq (Ribodepletion)

Captures the entire spectrum: coding RNAs and long non-coding transcripts (lncRNAs). Ideal for deep regulatory studies and degraded tissue (FFPE).

Small RNA-Seq / miRNA-Seq

Specialized pipelines for identifying known and novel microRNAs, isomiR profiling, and integrative target prediction (TargetScan, miRanda).

Dual RNA-Seq

Simultaneous analysis of eukaryotic host and pathogen transcriptomes. Essential for characterizing infection mechanisms and interactions in vivo/in vitro.

Spatial Transcriptomics

Gene expression mapping preserving tissue architecture (Visium, Xenium). Frequently integrated with scRNA-seq data to deconstruct the biological niche.

Metatranscriptomics

Evaluating active gene expression in microbiomes and complex microbial communities to understand ecosystem pathways and functions.

Core Bioinformatics Pipeline

01

Differential Expression Analysis

Robust DEG identification with DESeq2, edgeR and custom statistical models. We rigorously account for confounders, batch effects and complex experimental designs.

02

Pathway and Functional Enrichment

Systems-level functional annotation (GO, KEGG, Reactome). GSEA analysis to discover global behavior of metabolic pathways and cell signaling, using pre-ranked lists and custom gene sets.

03

Co-expression Networks

WGCNA-based module detection to identify clusters of genes that act in a coordinated manner. We statistically correlate these modules with your key clinical or phenotypic traits.

04

Biomarker Discovery

We deploy Machine Learning techniques for feature selection, isolating the expression signatures with the highest discriminative and predictive power to create diagnostic or prognostic panels.

05

Advanced Batch Correction

Rigorous quality control at every step. We identify and correct batch effects while carefully preserving true biological variance, using gold standard methods like ComBat and limma.

06

Deep Biological Interpretation

The pipeline is just the means. We provide an exhaustive discussion of what the results mean biologically in the context of your question, backed by direct 1-to-1 contact.

Single-Cell RNA-Seq

Going beyond standard pipelines with advanced Machine Learning, resolving cellular heterogeneity at unprecedented resolution.

Deep Learning model convergence
Convergencia del Modelo (ELBO) · Deep Learning training curve
We do not rely on rigid linear algorithms. Intusomics deploys state-of-the-art Deep Learning architectures, including Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), to model the true statistical distribution of your single-cell data.

By leveraging this advanced statistical modeling, we achieve:

  • Flawless batch integration across experiments, sequencing runs, and platforms
  • Precise missing-data imputation without distorting the underlying biology
  • Discovery of latent biological spaces that standard automated pipelines simply erase
  • Robust cell type annotation grounded in curated marker databases
  • Detection of rare cell populations at sub-cluster resolution

Batch Integration: Before & After

Standard PCA-based integration fails to remove technical variation. Our scVI pipeline separates biological signal from batch noise.

Before · UMAP (PCA estándar) — Efecto Batch visible
UMAP before integration
Batch effects dominate the embedding — cells cluster by experiment, not biology
After · UMAP (scVI Integration) — Biología Integrada
UMAP after scVI integration
Cell types cluster by true biological identity — batch effects removed

Single-Cell Analysis Pipeline

QC & Filtering

Normalization

Scran pooling or scVI probabilistic normalization

3
VAE Training
