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

There is more info in this thread: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60379
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.
As a disclaimer, I work for Bioo Scientific.Comment

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...
