Performance of Poly(A)-selected Libraries

nextflex rapid directional RNA seq kit 2.0 fig1

Figure 1. The NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 demonstrates even coverage along transcripts compared to the Competitor N kit.

Poly(A) mRNA was isolated from Universal Human Reference RNA (Agilent #740000) using the NEXTFLEX Poly(A) beads 2.0 and the Competitor N Poly(A) enrichment kit. Libraries were generated using the NEXTFLEX  Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 and the Competitor N’s library preparation kit. The resulting libraries were sequenced on the Illumina  MiSeq^® sequencer using paired-end mode (2×76 bp). Reads were trimmed using cutadapt and mapped to the Gencode v30 reference using bowtie². The coverage along transcripts was calculated using the BBMap pileup tool.

Figure 2. The NEXTFLEX  Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 demonstrate low duplication rate compared to the Competitor N kit.

Poly(A) mRNA was isolated from Universal Human Reference RNA (Agilent ^®#740000) using the NEXTFLEX Poly(A) beads 2.0 and the Competitor N Poly(A) enrichment kit. Libraries were generated using the NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 and the Competitor N’s library preparation kit. The resulting libraries were sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq sequencer using paired-end mode (2×76 bp). Reads were trimmed using cutadapt, mapped to the Gencode v30 reference using bowtie2, and randomly downsampled to 100k reads. Duplication rate was calculated using the fastp all-in-one FASTQ preprocessor.

Figure 3. The NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 demonstrates comparable directionality to the Competitor N kit.

Poly(A) mRNA was isolated from Universal Human Reference RNA (Agilent #740000) containing ERCC RNA Spike-In mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific #4456740) using the NEXTFLEX Poly(A) Beads 2.0 and the Competitor N Poly(A) enrichment kit. Libraries were generated using the NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 and the Competitor N’s library preparation kit. The resulting libraries were sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq  sequencer using paired-end mode (2×76 bp). Reads were trimmed using cutadapt and mapped to the ERCC92 reference using bowtie². Strandedness was calculated using SAMtools.

Figure 4. The NEXTFLEX  Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 delivers libraries containing low levels of rRNA contamination than the Competitor N kit.

Poly(A) mRNA was isolated from Universal Human Reference RNA (Agilent #740000) using the NEXTFLEX Poly(A) Beads 2.0 and the Competitor N Poly(A) enrichment kit. Libraries were generated using the NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 and the Competitor N’s library preparation kit. The resulting libraries were sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq sequencer using paired-end mode (2×76 bp). The reads were trimmed using cutadapt and the percent of rRNA was determined by using bowtie² to map reads to human rRNA. The NEXTFLEX Rapid Directional RNA-Seq kit 2.0 demonstrated superior removal of 5S, 5.8S, 12S, 16S, 18S, and 28S rRNA species compared to the Competitor N kit.
