Method for improved Illumina sequencing library preparation using NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq System.
Biotechniques. 2011 Mar;50(3):177-80

In this study, we tested the NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq System for library preparation followed by next-generation sequencing on an Illumina GAIIx. The cDNA product of the NuGEN kit may have significant amounts of ssDNA with hairpin structures that are generated during the amplification process. These structures interfere with efficient downstream end repair, A-tailing, and adapter ligation, all standard steps in post-amplification sequencing library construction. We were able to increase the efficiency of sequencing library yields 4- to 6-fold or greater by treatment of NuGENamplified cDNA product with the single-strand endonuclease S1. These results suggest that this treatment effectively cleaves hairpin structures generated during amplification that are resistant to the standard enzyme cocktails used for the end-repair step.

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...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
