Hi, saw some library kits using sequential adatation process, first to add adapter to the 5 ' prime and then 3'prime, just wondering how it works, many thanks in advance!

Hello,
This kind of protocol is typical of smallRNAseq.
It uses a truncated T4 RNA ligase 2 and a modified 3' adapter.
Trunc. T4 RNA ligase is unable to adenylate the 5' end of its substrate so it uses the modification of the 3' primer (rApp) to perform this step.
The second ligation uses a classical RNA ligase.
I wasn't aware of such protocols used for RNAseq... -
Thanks!
Swift Bio for example using this strategy to build their Libraries, for DNAseq and RNAseq. It should be different for DNA and RNA application, right?Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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
