  • Sequencing bacterial mRNA with Illumina stranded kits

    I am interested in directionally sequencing mRNA from bacteria (who do not have a polyA tail). Since Illumina's Ribo-zero kit depletes only mammalian rRNA I will not be able to use it. Therefore, I want to use my own bacterial Ribo-Zero kit and then use the Illumina stranded (directional) mRNA sequencing kit.

    The main difference I see between the Ribo-Zero total RNA stranded kit and the mRNA stranded kit (apart from the mRNA/total RNA isolation procedure) is in the buffers used for fragmentation (FPF buffer for mRNA, EFP buffer for total RNA). Can the FPF buffer of the directional mRNA seq kit be used for fragmentation in solution rather than on the beads?

    I don't know the answer to your specific question, but we frequently use ribo-zero with the TruSeq RNA prep kit by skipping the polyA step and adding 10-50ng of depleted RNA to the fragmentation step.

    Call Illumina Tech support. Unlike most companies they actually tend to be able to provide useful answers.

      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...
