Mapping the Spatial RNA Regulatory Code with Nucleus-Resolved Resolution

Creative Biolabs' RNA Antisense Purification (RAP) technology empowers you with complete control to interrogate your spatial interactome of choice. We help you visualize endogenous RNA-protein-chromatin complexes in their native architecture for the first time, revealing new layers of information on transient interactions, low abundant regulatory RNAs and dynamic rewiring of interactions. We offer a one-stop preclinical solution for epigeneticists interested in charting lncRNA-mediated 3D genome architecture, cancer biologists probing oncogenic RNA networks, virologists mapping viral RNA-host interplay, and neurobiologists investigating phase-separated condensates to advance mechanistic understanding of disease pathology to new heights.

Technology Snapshot: How RAP Reveals Hidden RNA Networks

RAP (RNA Antisense Purification) captures RNA-protein-chromatin complexes exactly as they exist in living cells. By using sequence-specific probes to "fish out" target RNAs directly from their native environment, this method preserves interactions that vanish during conventional extraction.

Why Researchers Trust Our RAP Platform

✔️ Multi-Complex Resolution

Solve: Isolating all interacting components (RNA + protein + DNA) from one sample—no more fragmented data.

  • You get: Complete 3D regulatory hubs, like seeing how a lncRNA team recruit's proteins to switch genes on/off.

✔️ Low-Abundance Sensitivity

Solve: Detecting rare RNAs that slip through other methods.

  • You get: Visibility into elusive regulators (e.g., viral RNAs or enhancer molecules), revealing hidden disease mechanisms.

✔️ True Spatial Fidelity

Solve: "Freezing" interactions mid-action with in-situ crosslinking.

  • You get: Real-time snapshots of dynamic processes (e.g., how stress rewires RNA networks within minutes).

Our Breakthrough Capabilities

Multi-Complex Resolution

  • Solve the fragmentation challenge: Simultaneously isolate RNA-bound proteins and chromatin contacts from a single sample.
  • Empowers researchers to reconstruct integrated regulatory hubs with spatial fidelity.

Low-Abundance Sensitivity

  • Make the undetectable detectable: Our unique signal amplification strategies can detect structural RNAs at endogenous levels.
  • Allows visualization of low abundant regulatory RNAs undetectable by traditional approaches.

Spatial Fidelity -Mapping in situ

  • Prevents losses: In situ crosslinking "freezes" interactions as they naturally occur in the cell.
  • Provides a true map of interactions for dynamic processes.
