    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.

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into          ...

          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.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has          ...
