Library Preparation Kit for Illumina & MGI

RNA library prep kit 

 

  • An RNA library preparation kit enables the construction of high-quality RNA libraries for downstream sequencing analysis. Here is an overview of the process and key steps involved in using an RNA library prep kit:
  • RNA Isolation and Quality Assessment:
    • Begin with the isolation of high-quality RNA from the biological sample of interest.
    • Assess the integrity and purity of the RNA to ensure it is suitable for library preparation.
  • RNA Fragmentation:
    • Fragment the RNA into smaller pieces using enzymes or other fragmentation methods included in the kit.
    • Ensure controlled and uniform fragmentation to facilitate accurate library construction.
  • cDNA Synthesis:
    • Perform reverse transcription (cDNA synthesis) using the fragmented RNA as a template.
    • Incorporate unique barcodes or indexes during cDNA synthesis to enable multiplexing and sample identification.
  • End Repair and Adenylation:
    • Prepare the cDNA fragments for adapter ligation by conducting end repair and adenylation steps.
    • These processes enable the attachment of sequencing adapters to the cDNA fragments.
  • Adapter Ligation:
    • Ligating sequencing adapters to the cDNA fragments allows for the subsequent amplification and sequencing steps.
  • Library Amplification:
    • Use PCR or other amplification techniques to enrich the RNA library, making it suitable for sequencing.
  • Quality Control:
    • Conduct quality control checks to assess the quality and concentration of the RNA library.
    • Verify the size distribution of the library fragments to ensure the integrity of the sequencing results.
  • Sequencing:
    • Follow standard protocols for sequencing on the appropriate platform.
    • Analyze the resulting sequence data using relevant bioinformatics tools to extract meaningful insights.
