I isolated RNA form human samples with concentration ~ 500 ng/ul , 260/280 Ratio = 2 and RIN = 7.3 then mRNA isolation with concentration ~ 5 ng/ul and 260/280 =2.2 but in mRNA fragmentation step, the concentration became 20 ng/ul and 260/280 ratio more than 3, why ?

That depends on how you quantify. Quantification in presence of salts and other reagents from buffers will less likely to be correct because most quantification assays are designed for nucleic acids resuspended in particular buffer. If you have used NanoDrop for 260/280 then you need to blank it with the same buffer that is present in your RNA reaction.

Here is the spectrum of some of them:

Thank you So much. I thunk that my fragmented mRNA sample may be contaminated with ethanol because UV absorbance is high at 230 nm . but How I eliminate ethanol contamination from my sample?

Looks more like a guanidium salt though and that is not typically used in fragmentation buffers.

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...-
