Reposted by Kacper A Walentynowicz, PhDplasmidsaurus @plasmidsaurus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026About 22% of cell line use worldwide involves misidentified cell lines (source: ICLAC). Now, every Plasmidsaurus RNA-Seq order includes a cell line identity check. We use SNPs already captured in your RNA-Seq reads to confirm sample identity.
