I did not perform Fragmentation for my 1st FFPE sample. Now I am thinking I may need do to do that to narrow the insert size ...

Originally posted by HedleyC View PostJakob, I have been involved in a piece of work trying to do the same thing - but we just got massive adapter contamination in the final data. What size range was your FFPE RNA peak after RiboZero GOLD but before the ScriptSeq? Ours was between 25-500bp approximately, peak generally around 100.

Originally posted by JakobHedegaard View PostRNA size range as yours - but with a sligthly higher peak ~200 nt. How do you purify the library after amplification? Using MiniElute will give you some "primer-dimer" contamination. We are using AMPure XP but you may need to play around with the bead ratio to get rid of the "primer-dimer" without removing too much of the library. Have you considered gel purification?

The ScriptSeq and later steps were performed by a 3rd party. They used AMPure XP, but it's unclear if they used the right bead ratio to minimise carry-through of the adapter dimers (I suspect not). We are doing some repeat work and also looking at another FFPE kit, so if I find out anything useful, will post it here at some point.

@ServiceXS, we obtained enough (>500 ng total RNA) purifiying from 2-3 sections from a FPFE block. For Ribo-Zero we started with 500 ng total RNA but have prepared libraries with 100 ng RNA - but with more variation in quality and yield.
@woodydon, using Ribo-Zero will result in a much more complex library than using poly-dA selected RNA. Depending on the sample conditions (tissue, stage, etc.) some transcripts can dominate the profile - and this applies to both poly-dA and Ribo-Zero treated RNA. Analysing data from Ribo-Zero treated RNA, I think the major challenge is the profiling of both mature and pre-spliced transcripts which introduce some kind of bias.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

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...-
