Our lab is making a library from yeast total RNA. We have tried NuGen kit, and got huge rRNA peaks in the samples. We then tried Illumina's RNA-Seq and got no cDNA at all. Then we tried Ambion's mRNA purist to pull out just the Poly A, and are still getting significant rRNA carryover. Has anyone else had such problems with yeast RNA samples?

Hi, I have been having this kind of problem as well isolating human polyA mRNA using Qiagen oligotex. Have you tried doing two rounds of purification? One of the Qiagen boffins has suggested that the rRNA contamination after purification might have something to with rRNA associated with translation of your mRNA... Do you have some pics of your bioanalyzer traces that show you your contam?

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...-

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...-
