We would like to use Illumina's TruSeq kit to prepare libraries for paired end RNA-seq. I would like to shoot for a longer insert size and am considering trying fragmentation with the Covaris method or a nebulizer. Any suggestions, advice, protocols, guidance, links would be greatly appreciated. Also - what size do you aim for?

We tried all different conditions that they recommended for longer sizes and none worked well.
I would suggest creating full length cDNA from your RNA using other methods than the kit (SSIII for example) and then use a covaris to shear to the length you want. We have customers that do this very well.

For cDNA conversion we use the Invitrogen products SSIII and second strand kit. We just follow the protocols.
Then we follow the Covaris recommended protocols for the different sizes. There is a sheet on their website that gives you conditions for all different sizes. On cDNA they work well and true to size.

Thank you very much kwaraska for your answer. We are also interested in preparing paired end Truseq stranded RNA seq with 200-300 bp inserts . In its protocol Illumina used dUTP for cDNA conversion and inserts are shorter than 200bp. Could someone give me advice how to proceed?

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...-

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...-
