Our lab is making a library from yeast total RNA. We have tried NuGen kit, and got huge rRNA peaks in the samples. We then tried Illumina's RNA-Seq and got no cDNA at all. Then we tried Ambion's mRNA purist to pull out just the Poly A, and are still getting significant rRNA carryover. Has anyone else had such problems with yeast RNA samples?

Hi, I have been having this kind of problem as well isolating human polyA mRNA using Qiagen oligotex. Have you tried doing two rounds of purification? One of the Qiagen boffins has suggested that the rRNA contamination after purification might have something to with rRNA associated with translation of your mRNA... Do you have some pics of your bioanalyzer traces that show you your contam?

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...-
