I thought about Experion, but there was not one available here. However, RT PCR worked on depleted samples, meaning that some RNA was still there. At least it shows that rRNA has been effectively removed

Hi, Im a beginner at sequencing. I have several might silly questions. Are RNA-seq and transcritome sequencing the same thing and using the same protocol? Can paired-end squencing be adopted in transcritome sequencing? If so what is the protocol? Much appreciate!

With RNA-seq, the aim is to estimate transcript/exon, and hence expression, levels. For this, you typically require lots of reads in order to get sufficient sensitivity.
The aim of transcriptome sequencing is to sequence the transcriptome - i.e. you're looking for polymorphisms in sequence, depth is much less of an issue.
Of course, you can "do" transcriptome sequencing with RNA-seq data, but not necessarily vice versa.
With regards rRNA sequencing, we have always used PolyA+ selection. Our experience with ribominus is that it doesn't remove sufficiently enough RNA for sequencing.
We're also just about to sequence a DSN treated library. We've been told that this method has excellent results for rRNA removal. It'll be interesting to see the data.

Thx, Tonybrooks. Actually we wanna detect which genes are active during a specific period and in a particular tissue, and identify these expressed genes which are responsible for a particular physiological phenomenon. Does transcriptome sequencing work?
Could anyone answer my question about the paired-end sequencing part?

We typically use paired end sequencing for RNA seq as it makes mapping much more straight-forward (although it's not essential). It basically gives us a lower number of reads that we have to throw out due to multiple mapping.

poly A purification from tomato total RNA
Hi all
I have been trying to get good mRNA from tomato total RNA using Dynabeads® Oligo(dT) from invitrogen. mRNA I am getting is a good quality with 1-2% rRNA contamination. My problem is the amount. I can only purified 0.2%of mRNA from my total RNA. Have anyone isolate mRNA from tomato? How much of poly A can I expect to be purified? What methods would you recommended to use.
Thanks,

Li Zhang: have you considere using a microarray? Depending on what you want to do the cost, time to prepare samples and time for bioinformatics could all be significantly cheaper on an array.
RNA-Seq will give you more information but right now I would say you have to work pretty hard to get it.
Comments anyone? Microarray vs sequencing; are microarrays dead?

I don't think microarrays are dead, but their prognosis is poor in the long term. Sequencing offers some serious advantages in terms of sensitivity, flexibility (not limited by chip availability), and cost (which will only continue to decrease). The big disadvantages are the sheer amount of data (25K genes vs. 25M+ reads) and relatively steep learning curve for mastering the analysis tools. But, much like microarrays, off-the-shelf software suitable for bench scientists (no disparagement intended; I consider myself one) will make the transition easier.

I've been working with microarrays since they were invented. Now I am beginning RNA-Seq. Microarrays are not dead yet... obviously, because the problem of rRNA overwhelming your NGS data hasn't been solved. From reading, the Epicentre kit works well at removing rRNA, at least for human, mouse, and rat. But I am currently working on a transcriptome project with bats. It may be a long time before Epicentre gets around to a bat-kit. We will have to start with DNS-treatments, and obvious methods like rRNA subtractive hybridization. Nonetheless, I firmly believe that the future of transcriptional profiling is by HTS exclusively.
Microarrays done correctly (CORRECTLY!) give excellent results (albeit not quantitative). But anyone printing their own microarrays better know what they are doing and do a lot of testing. Microarray printing will persist in the world of protein-protein interaction screening (and protein-DNA screening too). But only as a screening tool, validated later by SPR.
Sorry about my first post sounding like a rant.

ribodepletion using invitrogen ribominus
I'm going to attempt a ribodepletion using Invitrogen's RiboMinus Eukaryote Kit for RNA-Seq. Has anyone used this? Do you typically do the concentration step afterwards?
I tried it once with about 3ug input and noticed that without concentration the yield was simply too dilute. After concentration it was better, but the recovery was only about 2% of the input.
Thoughts appreciated.

I have used this kit a few times. For really effective removal of ribosomal RNA (as seen in bioanalyzer track) I had to do 2 rounds of ribodepletion. I had about 20% recovery (according to nanodrop, so take it with a grain of salt).
Do you use glycogen or some other carrier for the precipitation? The biggest problem is to miss your pellet because it isn't easily visible.

A little question to the topic: it is stated in the Dynabeads Kit that eluting and re-binding mRNA extract to the washed beads removes rRNA concentration. Is it so?
I am hesitating whether to put Invitrogen RiboMinus on top, my mRNA concentrations are usually quite limited...

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
