For library preparation recommendations based on species, please see the below chart for details.
Species | 图书馆准备 |
Human/Mouse/Rat | TruSeq Ribo-Zero-Gold and Kapa Ribo-Erase |

There are a variety of approaches to mRNA sequencing. Therefore, the best approach will depend on your needs.Typically, the HTSF recommends the following library preparation methods:
- Kapa mRNA stranded
- Takara Smarter + Nextera XT for low input material
- Nugen mRNA can also be done by request.
Sequencing and pooling recommendations can be found in the table below:

Like other miRNA profiling technologies, miRNA-Seq has both advantages (sequence-independence, coverage) and disadvantages (high cost, infrastructure requirements, run length, and potential artifacts).
Preferred library preparation kits for this service include:
- BioO NextFlex
Sequencing and pooling recommendations can be found in the table below:
