"I always thought of sequencing as expensive and time-consuming and hard to analyze, and it's just not with Plasmidsaurus."
When sequencing is fast and accessible, researchers can focus on discovery. We love supporting scientists like Delia Carlino at the Tulane Cancer Center, who is developing novel patient-derived organoid models of solid tumors to fuel translational research into cancer cures.

RNA-seq is a powerful tool for studying gene expression, but cost, turnaround time, and workflow complexity have often limited its use in routine experiments.
Join us on June 30 for our webinar, “3′ RNA-Seq for Everyday Sequencing: A New Paradigm for Transcriptomics,” to learn how Plasmidsaurus is making RNA-seq more practical for everyday research.
We’ll cover:
🧬 How Plasmidsaurus delivers fast, affordable RNA-seq with 3′ end counting
📊 Our automated analysis pipeline and interactive results viewer
🧑🔬 Real-world applications from scientists at Wayne State University

Stop by booth #2323 to meet the team, grab some fresh dino merch, and see how researchers are speeding up discovery with Plasmidsaurus’ lightning-fast sequencing.
We’ll also be showcasing our new shotgun metagenomics service, delivering comprehensive microbial community insights.⚡🧬
See you in DC!
"It used to take us 2-3 weeks to do the full QC process on our plasmids, and now it's pretty much instantaneous".
When plasmid QC goes from weeks to overnight, innovation moves a whole lot faster.

🧬 Following up on RNA-seq hits just got faster.
You can now explore detailed gene information directly inside the RNA-seq interactive results dashboard.
Hover over genes in the expression plot or volcano plot, and you’ll see a quick summary tooltip. Then, click to open a detailed info drawer with expanded gene summaries, related pathways, helpful links, and more.
No more copying gene names into Google just to figure out what you’re looking at 🎉
@Chauhanlab_ILS We accept samples from all over the world. You can either ship directly to our lab in Singapore or request a dropbox here: https://t.co/sHzcUFvaio
Another incredible ASGCT in the books! 🦖
We loved connecting with so many scientists from our dino community, from longtime customers to researchers just hearing about us for the first time.
Our booth was buzzing all week, and it was exciting to see so much interest in our newest offerings: RNA-seq and Genotyping Analysis. We had some great conversations around the growing need for fast turnaround and reliable, actionable results.
We were also thrilled to see a packed house at our lightning talk, where we shared some of our favorite customer success stories from over the years.
And somehow, you all created an astounding 60 dino drawings at the event! That honestly might be the most important metric of all. 🎨🧬
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat and nerd out about sequencing with us. Already looking forward to next year!
The Plasmidsaurus crew has arrived at #ASGCT2026, and we’re excited to meet you and see how we can accelerate your cell and gene therapy workflows 🦖

My first podcast is out today with @markwbudde, CEO of @plasmidsaurus.
Plasmidsaurus took whole-plasmid sequencing from $600 to $15 and turned a "boring" service company idea into a hugely successful company that now serves >70,000 scientists.
We talked about what it means to build a "boring" company, whether the Plasmidsaurus idea could apply to other technologies (like CRISPR screens), and why Plasmidsaurus isn't expanding into China. This podcast is made possible by @AsteraInstitute.
00:00 – Enter Plasmidsaurus
01:21 – Reducing sequencing costs by 40x
04:17 – Scaling Oxford Nanopore technology
06:29 – Venture capital and building a "boring" company
13:03 – Plasmidsaurus vs. traditional CROs
22:25 – On selling customer data
30:10 – Building a moat
37:08 – 50-minute results
39:26 – Logistics and the UPS partnership
48:42 – The Chinese market
