  • smallRNA seq input amount question

    Hi,
    We have done many RNA seq experiments, but this will be our small RNA seq experiment. We are following small RNA library preparation using Total RNA sequencing kit. The protocol suggests either using total RNA or enriched small RNA for the library preparation. For the enrichment protocol we do not have sufficient total RNA amount (<2ug). So other option is to start the library prep with total RNA. Has anyone prepared small RNA library using total RNA as input. Can anyone suggest which is the best way to go - enrich small RNA with the available total RNA or use total RNA as input for library prep.

    Please advice

    Hi Sanush,

    If you are using the NEXTflex™ Small RNA Sequencing Kit you can use 1 ug of total RNA or small enriched RNA from 1 - 10 ug of total RNA. Total RNA is fine for most cases. Enriching helps remove a lot of your ribosomal bands which will ensure more usable reads. How many lanes are you trying to run with your < 2ug sample?

      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...
