My previous RNA-seq experience is with total RNA-seq, using RiboMinus to deplete rRNAs. Now we are considering mRNA-seq. We plan on using the Illumina dUTP paired-end library construction method with human RNA from whole blood (Leuko-lock). Our starting amount is 12-18 ug of total RNA, which is on the low end.
What are your experiences with Poly(A)+ selection and RNA-seq?
MicroPoly(A)Purist (considering our small starting amount) - do we need to do RiboMinus first, or two rounds of MicroPoly(A)Purist? What efficiency should we expect, both in amt. of recovered Poly(A)+ RNA and number of rRNA reads in the final sequencing?
What about DynaBeads oligo(dT) purification? Are there any other favorite methods? I would really appreciate any advice people can give, or if you can link to other posts. I've already gone through many of them, and there's a lot of mixed advice out there.
