Have anyone her tries the NEB small RNA library prep kit?
How is the result compared to the Illumina TruSeq?

Generally both gives similar results down to 2ng miRNA input (fraction of miRNA in total RNA) with a similar workflow but NEB kit costs less. -
Bioo Scientific also offers a similar kit which uses adapters with randomized ends to reduce ligase bias. The issue of ligase bias is pretty well known in the small RNA library prep field, feel free to PM me for more information. I was hesitant to post here because I don't want it to look like a sales pitch, but I truly believe the use of randomized adapters is the way to go with small RNA library prep.

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
