    Best method to mRNA purification

    Hello everyone
    I'm looking for the better method to purify mRNA to use in RNAseq. I studied the Ribozero method from Illumina and Ribominus from Ambion, but both methods are very expensive in comparation with Mag-Bind mRNA Kit of Omega Biotek, based on Olido(dT) beads.
    Did anyone use this method to isolate mRNA before?
    The mRNA quality is appropiate to RNAseq?
    Please, could you share your experience?

    There's no best method, but most appropiate. It depends what you really wanna look for: mRNA or RNA transcripts in general (codifiying or not). PolyA selection kits work great, but remember you only select mRNA with polyA tail.
    On the other hand, Ribozero/Ribominus methologies look good, though is your species suitable for that? Would its oligos work on your rRNA?
    In general, RNAs coming from polyA kits or ribozero should work for RNAseq. Depending on how much RNA as an input you use and output you obtain from these kits, maybe you have to choose different protocols-approach. Nowadays there are RNAseq library prep kits which allow really low amount of RNA as input (it depends how much do you want to spend).

      I ran a Poly A Prep on Total RNA and found that even with Poly A selection I still had reads that were mapped as ribosomal. This was really curious, but I guess some rRNA's are polyA?

      However, this was my first RNA-seq experiment and I will soon be following up by comparing Total, Poly A, and both methods with Ribo Depleted RNA (with Ribo Zero).

        We want to determine differential expression, so we are thinking on mRNA sequencing. We can obtain a good amount of total RNA, so the total RNA no represent a problem to us.
        And, respect to purification with PoliA column, we have the same trouble with a PolyA purification, it's common a contamination with rRNA with this method.

          In my experience, you have to distinguish between mitochondrial and nuclear rRNA. Mitochondrial rRNA has an intrinsic polyA tail, whereas nuclear rRNA doesn't.

              matiasfreired For RNAseq, I used Poly(A)Purist™ Kits from Ambion with great success, and if you have a lot of sample, I found it quite fast to do. This kit will obviously select polyA RNAs.

                ojham Although I did not use it, I believe you could use RNAmmer for that.

                      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
                      by SEQadmin2


                      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

                      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
                      by SEQadmin2



                      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

                      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
                      by SEQadmin2



                      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

                      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
