  • Ribozero Bacteria discontinued - alternatives?

    With the discontinuation of the Ribozero Bacteria kit Illumina left the whole field of bacterial transcriptomics out in the rain. People in the field, what alternatives do you use now?

  • #2
    I had a meeting with our Qiagen rep recently who indicated that they may be working on a bacterial rRNA removal kit.

    Definitely hoping to find a suitable alternative!

        Just found that NuGen has a metatranscriptome kit based on their AnyDeplete Technology. Needs to be tested how good/bad the capture efficiency is.

            It was recommended that we use Ribominus or Microbexpress as an alternative, but I am having no success with either kit. I sequenced some samples that passed Bioanalyzer qc (no visible residual rRNA) but in both cases anywhere from 70-90% rRNA mapped and very low feature coverage. Has anyone had success with these products or implemented a solid alternative to Ribo-Zero?

              Our group has obtained similar results with the RiboMinus kit. rRNA mapping at ~80%. Alternatives are still needed.

                Just to be sure do you mean 70-90% of final reads are still rRNA? @MU_Core and @evan_seq24?

                  Yes, final reads which are rRNA.

                    Any update on this?

                    Several sequencing centers have discouraged MICROBExpress.

                    I'm interested in the riboPOOL kit (siTOOLs), but they don't reply.
                    Has anyone experience with this kit? Especially a combination riboPOOL foor soils/sediments (targeting prokaryotes and eukaryotes (plants/chloroplasts, protists, fungi, ...)?

                    thanks!

                        According to Illumina (https://www.illumina.com/products/se...ion-guide.html) they have a new product pending for bacteria and plant leaf tissues. They state to contact Tech Support

                              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                              by seqadmin


                              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
