RNA extracted from bacterial species comprises up to 98 % of ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), preventing the in-depth analysis of RNAs of interest, particularly in the context of Next Generation Sequencing (RNA-Seq). Moreover, depletion of rRNA derived from multi-species bacterial communities ...
Read More »Upcoming Live Chat Sessions: rRNA removal – The most underestimated step for RNA-seq optimization
Are you spending hours trying to optimize your RNA-seq workflow but still struggling to achieve consistent, high-quality, on-target reads? High levels of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) could be jeopardizing your RNA-seq workflow, compromising your ability to detect low-abundance mRNA transcripts…

RNA-seq-based SSU (small subunit) rRNA (ribosomal RNA) analysis has provided a better understanding of potentially active microbial community within environments. However, for RNA-seq library construction, high quantities of purified RNA are typically required. Fudan University researchers propose a modified RNA-seq ...
Read More »Comparative evaluation of rRNA depletion procedures for the improved analysis of bacterial biofilm and mixed pathogen culture transcriptomes
Global transcriptomic analysis via RNA-seq is often hampered by the high abundance of ribosomal (r)RNA in bacterial cells. To remove rRNA and enrich coding sequences, subtractive hybridization procedures have become the approach of choice prior to RNA-seq, with their efficiency ...
Read More »DASHR – a database of small human noncoding RNAs
Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are highly abundant RNAs, typically <100 nucleotides long, that act as key regulators of diverse cellular processes. Although thousands of sncRNA genes are known to exist in the human genome, no single database provides searchable, unified ...
