The great majority of RNA in bacteria is ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This highly abundant RNA can conceal the biological significance of less abundant transcripts, and so its efficient and specific removal is desirable.
The NEBNext® rRNA Depletion Kit (Bacteria) employs the NEBNext RNase H-based RNA depletion workflow to deplete rRNA (5S, 16S, and 23S) from gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.View species tested to date.
The kit is effective with both intact and degraded RNA preparations, from monocultures or samples with mixed bacterial species (e.g., metatranscriptomic).The kit is also availablewith RNAClean®beads.
