We want to use the ScriptSeq v2 RNA-seq Library prep kit (Epicentre) to make libraries for some rRNA-depleted bacterial RNA. Looking through the protocol I don't see any option for a size-selection. We'd like to size-select because we have a lot of small RNA product that we don't want to include in the prep. Has anyone incorporated a size-selection into the protocol? I would think you could add it after the completed cDNA synthesis and tagging (after 3.C in current protocol). Would you still do the cDNA purification (3.D in current protocol) if there is a size-selection after cDNA synthesis? We have access to a pippin prep if that will be useful.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
