    RNA-Seq sample prep...

    Hello-

    Long time NGS researcher...first time RNA-Seq. I'm trying to figure out how to do sample prep. There are various kits available, and they all claim to be the latest and greatest. Obviously they're not all the greatest. Before spending money I'm trying to gauge what seems to be working well in the community, and which appear to be not so good. So, what are you using and how well is it working? Additionally, any insights comparing two (or more) methods would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I've been making RNA-Seq libraries for three years now, basically following the same protocol as one of the first papers (Marioni et al 2008) with a few modifications (e.g RNA fragmentation on Covaris). It works well for me and the costs/library are a fraction of the commercial kits as I buy all the enzymes/reagents from the individual vendors in bulk.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
