Most researchers listed improved quantitation as one of the most critical issues with RNA-seq. Bioo Scientific has listened and launched the patent pending NEXTflex™ Rapid Directional qRNA-Seq™ Kit which incorporates Molecular Indexes™ to allow researchers to easily distinguish amplified copies of their transcripts from actual duplicated transcripts found in the cell. The NEXTflex Rapid Directional qRNA-Seq Kit utilizes a dUTP-based protocol to obtain "stranded" information which identifies the specific DNA strands a given RNA transcript was derived from.
