nanoString doesn't "sequence" the RNA, unless you're referring to Hyb & Seq (which can sequence novel sequences, but is still in the technology development stages). -
I know two technologies for direct transcriptome analysis:
1- nanoString: it can only quantify known transcripts
2- MinIon: the kit currently is offered for early access
cDNA still is the most common method.Leave a comment:

Can we sequence RNA directly
Hello, couple of years ago, I was in a NGS workshop. I was told some company was trying to develop some kits, so we can do metatranscriptomics without building cDNA libraries. I was wondering if this kit is available now?
Or now most sequencing center still use cDNA to do metatranscriptomics.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
