I am preparing RNA libraries using the TruSeq Total RNA kit from Illumina and I am trying to use NextFlex adapters in lieu of the truseq ones. I am stuck on the correct concentration to use and Illumina tells me the molarity of their adapters is proprietary. Does anyone know the correct concentration of their adapters, I don't have any on hand to test.

Check the concentration of the Nextflex RNA-seq adapters on their web page; I have not memorized it but it will work. -
Thanks Luc, I know the concentration of the nextflex adapters and I know they will work. I am looking for the concentration of the illumina adaptersComment

Nextflex adapters are available for DNA applications and for RNA-seq applications. The latter are merely dilutions of the former, but Bioo provides the concentration info somewhere.
If you have the diluted Nextflex adapters (for RNA-seq) use the same adapter volume as in the TruSeq RNA kit.Comment

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
