  • initial amount of total RNA or enriched small rna for small rna seq

    Hi everyone,

    We are planing to small RNA sequencing using Illumina Genome Analyzer (Solexa), my question is how much the initial amount of total RNA should be in general ? or enriched small rna?

    many thanks

    Which species? And how about the length restriction?
    For what we did for human and other mammals at the length range less than 40nt, the most of final results were known miRNAs, about occupied 80~90% or even more. let-7 families were the highest abundant families.

      First, thanks ishmael for your response

      We want to sequence two endemic fish species whose genome are not sequenced and annotated in database. Our study mainly covers the microRNA sequencing and their proposed relatively lenght is between 18-30 nt. My question is how much (ng or ug) the initial RNA quantity (small enriched rna or total rna) should be?

      thanks...

        Sorry, I forget the topic is about library preparation
        Guys in our wet lab said it is hard to say the mass of total RNAs, may be 1mg? They just followed the protocols. Sometimes only when the sequencing finished then you know if the exaction is messed up or not. In the beginning, some sequencing batches of our samples were full of adaptor sequences only, useless .

          Hi, ishmael

          During the library preparation, approximately 1 ug (< 50 pb) enriched small RNA sould be suffecient to get proper sequences for illumnia hiseq2000, according to friends who runs this machine routinely. But, now I embark on collecting part of article about my subject. And, I am planing to list this information here.

          kindly...

            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...
