Bumping this thread because I am curious as well.
We tried 500 pg of good quality total RNA with this kit. It had horrible results - 60-90% Duplication rate, 30% rRNA fractions. Anyone else have this experience?

Has anybody tried the Ovation Single Cell RNA-seq system?
Hi,
it would be interesting to hear how good it is...the kit costs about 5000 USD for 32 samples! In the FAQ sections they say the kit is designed for high-quality RNA (NOT whole cells, apparently...so why calling it "Single-Cell"?) and the amount of rRNA reads will be <25% (seriously? after paying all that money 1/4 of my library will be junk?).
Besides, what are these nucleotide analogs that are incorporated during the first cDNA strand synthesis and later they are used for the fragmentation? Any idea? thanks!

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
