What we do with your sample

How your sample is studied in the laboratory.

Your period sample contains a wealth of information. Here are just some of the things we can do with your sample.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)
We look inside individual cells to see which genes are switched on, so we can tell what types of cells are present in your sample.
Whole genome sequencing
We read the complete genetic code from your sample, to understand how DNA differences might relate to period health.
Microbiome analysis
We identify the bacteria and other tiny organisms naturally living in the sample, and whether these differ between people.
Organoids
We grow small lab-based models of the womb lining using cells from your sample, to study how this tissue works and changes.
Spatial transcriptomics
We map exactly where in the tissue different genes are active, building a picture of how different areas work together.
