TruSeq Small RNA

TruSeq Small RNA

TruSeq small RNA enables library preparation of any miRNA with a 3’ hydroxyl and a 5’ monophosphate, like those processed by Dicer/Drosha. Compatible applications include finding novel miRNAs, characterizing variation such as isomer with single-base resolution, and analyzing differential expression without prior assumptions.
Starting Material: Optimized for 1ug high-quality total RNA, or previously isolated miRNA from 1-10ug total RNA (likely 10-50ng miRNA).
