concentration mRNA required

[marRoma]

Hello everybody!

i'm struggling with the RNA extraction from bacteria recovered from mice after intraperitoneal infection.... unfortunately i'm not able to get a good amount of total RNA ( the best sample is 256 ng/microliter) and i have around 15 microliter of the sampke) and i'm afraid that the concentration will decrease a lot after the rRNA removal treatment with RiboZero rRNA removal kit.
Does anyone know the concentration of mRNA required for the mRNA sequencing on the Illumina platform?

thank you

The Epicentre ScriptSeq kit uses starting amounts 0f 500pg - 50ng of rRNA depleted RNA. I think you are in the ballpark.
