The transcriptome is composed of different types of RNA molecules including mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, and other noncoding RNAs that are found inside a cell at a given time. Analyzing transcriptome patterns can shed light on the functional state of the ...

A major hurdle to transcriptome profiling by deep-sequencing technologies is that abundant transcripts, such as rRNAs, can overwhelm the libraries, severely reducing transcriptome-wide coverage. Methods for depletion of such unwanted sequences typically require treatment of RNA samples prior to library ...
