With the discontinuation of the Ribozero Bacteria kit Illumina left the whole field of bacterial transcriptomics out in the rain. People in the field, what alternatives do you use now?

I had a meeting with our Qiagen rep recently who indicated that they may be working on a bacterial rRNA removal kit.
Definitely hoping to find a suitable alternative! -

Just found that NuGen has a metatranscriptome kit based on their AnyDeplete Technology. Needs to be tested how good/bad the capture efficiency is.Comment

We just started making riboPOOLs for affordable, custom depletion of ribosomal RNA
Contact us to make a custom riboPOOL to suit your needs - info (at) sitools.deLast edited by siTOOLs; 01-18-2019, 08:34 AM.Comment

It was recommended that we use Ribominus or Microbexpress as an alternative, but I am having no success with either kit. I sequenced some samples that passed Bioanalyzer qc (no visible residual rRNA) but in both cases anywhere from 70-90% rRNA mapped and very low feature coverage. Has anyone had success with these products or implemented a solid alternative to Ribo-Zero?Comment
-
Our group has obtained similar results with the RiboMinus kit. rRNA mapping at ~80%. Alternatives are still needed.Comment
-
Just to be sure do you mean 70-90% of final reads are still rRNA? @MU_Core and @evan_seq24?Comment
-
Yes, final reads which are rRNA.Comment

Any update on this?
Several sequencing centers have discouraged MICROBExpress.
I'm interested in the riboPOOL kit (siTOOLs), but they don't reply.
Has anyone experience with this kit? Especially a combination riboPOOL foor soils/sediments (targeting prokaryotes and eukaryotes (plants/chloroplasts, protists, fungi, ...)?
thanks!Comment

According to Illumina (https://www.illumina.com/products/se...ion-guide.html) they have a new product pending for bacteria and plant leaf tissues. They state to contact Tech SupportOriginally posted by furor View PostComment

Has anyone tried this kit from ZYMO? Usually ZYMO stuff is pretty good...

Interesting...micrboEXPRESS looks to be an Ambion Kit (originally). But Ambion basically got destroyed when Thermo Fisher bought it...Originally posted by furor View PostComment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Today, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
