Bioanalyzer results for fragmented total RNA are continuously coming up with mean peak around 105-110nt. As a result, I suspect, I'm loosing the vast majority of the material during size selection with AMpure beads, so when reaching the library analysis I'm ending up with zero results! I'm following SOLID 4 total RNA protocol. For fragmentation I'm starting with minimal amount of rRNA depleted total RNA of at list 200ng and using RNAse III 10min for the fragmentation. Here you can see my results before and after fragmentation procedure. What I'm doing wrong? Is it possible that the initial amount of RNA is too low?

I've never run the SOLID protocol, but for our Illumina protocols we use the NEB Next RNA fragmentation kit. It's a chemical rather than an enzymatic fragmentation. We end up with average sizes around 250 bases (customizable based on fragmentation time). We also input 200ng of rRNA depleted RNA as our starting material. Good luck

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...-

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...-
