    RNA-seq libraries from bird blood

    Hi all,
    I am planning a RNASeq experiment and I would like to prepare some Illumina libraries. The starting material is avian blood. I had a look around but it is not clear which is the best method to isolate high quality RNA from this highly nucleated sample. Do you have experience or suggestions? What are the right procedures from the blood storage to the final isolation?
    Is depletion of hemoglobin mRNA necessary? Can be a problem in the evaluation of gene expression?

    Thanks in advance!

      I would use Trizol followed by RNAEasy. Use much less blood (like 5 to 10x less) than with mammalian blood.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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          ...

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing          ...
