I understand that we can either fractionate RNA or cDNA so poly A library is not a necessity for RNA-seq. However, would fractionated RNA alone serve to give a decent coverage?

PolyA selection allows for selection of mRNA. Total RNA from a cell/tissue contains more than 98% of ribosomal RNA sequences and therefore it would be wise to do either polyA selection or remove ribosomal RNA by other means. If not done, you end up having 80% of your reads mappings to ribosomes.Post-doctoral Fellow

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 on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 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
