In Illumina Stranded RNA-Seq (using the dUTP method), do the final reads in the fastq files correspond to the initial molecule (that was transcribed), or to the reverse complement of the molecule?

It will be different for read 1 and read 2. For the dUTP stranded protocol read 1 is the reverse complement of the mRNA, read 2 matches the sequence and direction of the mRNA. Further, read 2 should be positioned to the left (5') of read 1, when considered in transcript coordinate space.Originally posted by carmeyeii View PostIn Illumina Stranded RNA-Seq (using the dUTP method), do the final reads in the fastq files correspond to the initial molecule (that was transcribed), or to the reverse complement of the molecule?

Thanks kmcarr,
So the strand with the same sequence and direction of the mRNA is the one retained for the first phase of paired-end sequencing, covalently linked through the P7 adapter?

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
