We want to use the ScriptSeq v2 RNA-seq Library prep kit (Epicentre) to make libraries for some rRNA-depleted bacterial RNA. Looking through the protocol I don't see any option for a size-selection. We'd like to size-select because we have a lot of small RNA product that we don't want to include in the prep. Has anyone incorporated a size-selection into the protocol? I would think you could add it after the completed cDNA synthesis and tagging (after 3.C in current protocol). Would you still do the cDNA purification (3.D in current protocol) if there is a size-selection after cDNA synthesis? We have access to a pippin prep if that will be useful.

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 -
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...
