  • RNA-Seq from FFPE Samples

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone knows anything about doing this?

    I read an article by Beck et al where they developed a method called 3SEQ for RNA-Seq from FFPE samples (using the Illumina GA) but this method concentrates only on the extreme 3` end of samples and therefore obviously misses out on a lot of upstream information.

    I have read that single molecule sequencing is most suited to profiling mRNA from degraded samples and I am wondering if the Helicos or Pacific Bio machines would be suited to such analyses? Or will their techniques be 3`-biased also?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

    Best,

    Gavin

    Hi,

    I know this post was a long time ago, but did you do any RNA Seq from FFPE samples? If so which sample prep method did you use please? I am trying to decide between DSN normalization or the mRNA-Seq Sample Preparation kit (if I can get enough total RNA from the FFPE samples).

      Hi,

      The project fell by the wayside in the end unfortunately.

      I heard numerous claims that DSN normalization works very well but only in the right hands - it seems to be a temperamental protocol.

        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...
