Retain Rare Transcripts While Depleting Ribosomal RNA

Bio-Rad is excited to announce the launch of SEQuoia RiboDepletion Kit, the newest product in the SEQuoia portfolio of RNA-Seq sample preparation products. This is a stand-alone, post–library depletion kit that eliminates RNA-Seq library fragments that originated from ribosomal RNA sequences. The kit exhibits superior performance in retaining small RNAs while minimizing the loss of rare transcripts and RNA from limited samples, providing a better approach to whole transcriptome profiling. Furthermore, the cost of rRNA depletion can be significantly reduced by pooling and depleting multiple libraries in a single ribodepletion reaction.
