• Experimental Design, Bioinformatics.
• Library production/sequence generation:
RNA-Seq,
SAGE,
Fragment,
Mate-pair,
Sequence Capture: Sure Select, Nimblegen, HaloPlex
ChIP-Seq,
Methylation Studies,
Metagenomics.
Method of RNA Extraction?
• Trizol/Company extraction kits
• Only exception is miRNA..........
QC of RNA-Quality
• Bioanalyzer-RIN values
• Tapestation-RINe
QC of RNA
QC of RNA-the importance of quality

QC of RNA-Quantity
• Bioanalyzer-RIN values
• Tapestation-RINe
• Quantification....ribogreen/Qubit (Invitrogen)/nanodrop

It Depends...................
Methods of rRNA removal
• rRNA depletion (%age recovery-method specific)
Ribominus-Life Technologies
Ribo-Zero-Epicentre
• rRNA removal (30-40% recovery)
Terminator-Epicentre
• PolyA selection (1-5% recovery)
Dynabeads-Invitrogen
PolyA purist-Ambion
• How many rounds of selection?
• Bias in expression profiling?

Importance of Clean RNA
“Clean” RNA
Total RNA
Depleted RNA
“Dirty” RNA
It Depends...available RNA
• NuGen Ovation kit
• SMART/MINT amplified cDNAimportant protocol steps
controlling rounds of amplification
NuGen Ovation
SMART/MINT cDNA amplification
454 cDNA sequencing
• An example of platform-specific considerations.
• Roche cDNA sequencing kit
• NuGen Ovation kit
• SMART/MINT amplified cDNAimportant protocol steps
controlling rounds of amplification
removal of polyA tail
removal of amplification primer sequences
DSN Normalisation
RNA-Seq on Short-Read Platforms
• STaR kit from Ambion for SOLiD - WT and miRNA
• Tru-Seq from Illumina
• Script-Seq from Epicentre
Ambion STaR kit......SOLiD Sequencing
Epicentre Script-Seq....Illumina Sequencing
TruSeq Strand-Specific Kit
Parkhomchuk et al., NAR 2009
NEB miRNA library....Illumina Sequencing
• Do not generate miRNA and total RNA-Seq library from the same
library prep
It Depends...
• The nature of your experiment
• The sequencing platform employed
• The type of library preparation
