Hi all,
My group is starting an RNA-seq project from patient frozen blood stored in PAXgene RNA blood collection tubes. We have experience performing library preps on PBMCs and isolated monocytes using the Takara Bio SMARTer RNA-seq kits. For this project, we have heard that one issue that could arise is the globin gene counts after sequencing. Has anybody had any issues with this?
Right now, I am thinking about extracting RNA from the PAXgene tube using the QIAGEN PAXgene extraction kit, then using this kit: GLOBINclear Kit for globin mRNA depletion and then running the standard library prep kits we have in the past.
However, Illumina sells a library prep kit that removes globin mRNA in the library prep itself: https://www.illumina.com/products/by...na-globin.html
Does anybody have any experience with this kit?
Thanks for all your help!
