Would any one please share conditions used for fragmenting bacterial mRNA? I am shooting for ~200 nt and starting mRNA conc. is ~75-100 ng/. I am using NEB Next mRNA library kit. They recommend 5 min at 94 C in Mg buffer. However this is for eukaryotic mRNA. I will appreciate if someone could share their success story using this kit with bacterial (E. coli/Salmonella/Bacillus ...) mRNA. I have depleted total RNA using Epicenters Ribo-Zero kit. Thanks everyone!

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
