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.

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.
