  • Which library prep kit for targeted RNA-seq of an overexpression library?

    I am going to transform a library of overexpression constructs into my cells, and then after applying a selection pressure I want to do targeted RNA-seq to determine the relative expression of each library gene in the pool of selected cells.

    The vector backbone is the same for all constructs in the library, and therefore every transcript will have the same 5' UTR and 3' UTR, the latter of which contains a designed primer binding site for first strand cDNA synthesis. I only want to check the expression of the library genes; I do not want to sequence the transcriptome. The size of the genes in the library range from about 200-1200 bp. All of the library genes have very different sequences, so I only need to sequence about 75-150 bp in order to be able to map the reads to the reference sequences.

    Which Illumina library prep kit should I use and why? Or should I instead use a custom protocol since I have a designed primer site for first strand cDNA synthesis?

    Thanks for your help.

    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...
