Ribosomal Profiling

Ribosomal profiling (RIBO-seq)

OHMX.bio delivers cutting-edge ribosome profiling (RIBO-seq) solutions with a proprietary, high-performance pipeline, offering unparalleled insights into translation dynamics. Founded on this groundbreaking technology, OHMX.bio is a globally recognized leader in ribosome profiling, with numerous peer-reviewed publications demonstrating its expertise. With an industry-leading rRNA depletion strategy, OHMX.bio provides the most precise and reliable translatomics data available.

Understanding ribosome profiling

Ribosome profiling is a next-generation sequencing technique that captures ribosome-protected fragments (RPFs), providing a real-time view of translation across the entire transcriptome. By pinpointing ribosome positions on mRNAs, RIBO-seq enables detailed analysis of translational regulation, ribosome occupancy, and open reading frame (ORF) delineation. This technology bridges the gap between transcriptomics and proteomics, revealing crucial insights into gene expression that RNA sequencing alone cannot provide.

Tailored ribosome profiling solutions

OHMX.bio offers two distinct ribosome profiling solutions, each designed for specific research objectives:

1. Differential Translation Analysis

This solution focuses on comparing ribosome occupancy across different conditions, enabling researchers to identify genes with altered translation rates.  
  • Designed for differential expression studies at the translational level.
  • Helps uncover translational control mechanisms beyond mRNA abundance.
  • Includes a dedicated advanced bioinformatics package for quantitative RPF analysis, normalization, and statistical comparisons.
  • Optional Matching RNA Sequencing – RNA-seq from the same sample can be included to determine translational efficiency by comparing mRNA abundance with ribosome occupancy.

2. ORF Delineation & Discovery

This approach provides in-depth mapping of ribosome footprints to precisely define known and novel ORFs, including small upstream ORFs (uORFs) and non-canonical translation events.
  • Essential for discovering novel protein-coding regions.
  • Resolves complex translational landscapes with single-nucleotide precision.
  • Includes a specialized advanced bioinformatics package for frame analysis, codon periodicity detection, and novel ORF
