Request a trial kit to evaluate Metagenomic and transcriptomic analysis from complex bacterial samples is gaining popularity due to the ease of obtaining samples and the decreased costs of next generation sequencing. While DNA profiling using 16S profile or even shot-gun genomic sequencing has become routine, RNA profiling presents a special challenge due to prokaryotic 5S/16S/23S rRNA contamination and its removal that is essential for obtaining relevant gene expression data. For complex bacterial samples, continued evolution of our first generation QIAseq FastSelect technology recently resulted in a new strategy that is extremely efficient in removing 5S/16S/23S rRNA. We designed QIAseq FastSelect -rRNA Removal 5S-16S-23S against SILVA 16S sequences (nearly 600,000 entries), SILVA 23S ...
