产品说明书: KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) Globin Illumina^® PlatformsVendor   

Product Description

The KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) Globin for Illumina sequencing contains all of the buffers and enzymes required for depletion of rRNA and globin mRNA transcripts and the construction of stranded RNASeq libraries from 100 ng – 1 μg of purified, blood-derived total RNA via the following steps:

1. depletion of rRNA and globin mRNA by hybridization of complementary DNA oligonucleotides and RNase H digestion to remove RNA duplexed to DNA, followed by DNase treatment to remove DNA oligonucleotides;
2. random fragmentation using heat and magnesium;
3. 1st strand cDNA synthesis using random priming;
4. 2nd strand synthesis and marking, which converts the cDNA:RNA hybrid to double-stranded cDNA (dscDNA),and incorporates dUTP into the second cDNA strand;
5. A-tailing, to add dAMP to the 3'-ends of the dscDNA library fragments;
6. adapter ligation, where dsDNA adapters with 3'-dTMP overhangs are ligated to A-tailed library insert fragments; and
7. library amplification, to amplify library fragments carrying appropriate adapter sequences at both ends using highfidelity, low-bias PCR. The strand marked with dUTP is not amplified, allowing strand-specific sequencing.
   
   

The kit provides all of the enzymes and buffers required for rRNA and globin mRNA depletion, cDNA synthesis, library construction and amplification. Reaction buffers are supplied in convenient formats comprising all of the required reaction components. This minimizes the risk of RNase contamination, ensures consistent and homogenous reaction composition, and improves uniformity among replicate samples. Similarly, a single enzyme mixture is provided for each step of the library construction process, reducing the number of pipetting steps.

In order to maximize sequence coverage uniformity and to maintain relative transcript abundance, it is critical that library amplification bias be kept to a minimum. KAPA HiFi DNA Polymerase is designed for low-bias, high-fidelity PCR, and is the polymerase of choice for NGS library amplification.1,2,3,4 The KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) Globin includes KAPA HiFi HotStart ReadyMix (2X) and Library Amplification Primer Mix (10X)
for library amplification.

Product Applications

The KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) Globin is designed for both manual and automated NGS library construction from 100 ng – 1 μg of blood-derived total RNA.

The kit depletes both cytoplasmic (5S, 5.8S, 18S, and 28S), and mitochondrial (12S and 16S) rRNA species as well as globin mRNA transcripts. The protocol is applicable to a wide range of RNA-Seq applications, including:
• gene expression analysis of high- and low-quality RNA samples;
• single nucleotide variation (SNV) discovery;
• splice junction and gene fusion identification; and
• characterization of both polyadenyated and nonpolyadenylated RNAs, including noncoding and immature RNAs.

Process Workflow

Library Construction Protocol

1. Reagent Preparation
   This protocol takes 10 – 12 hrs to complete.Ideally, master mixes for the various steps in the process should be prepared as required.
    
   For maximum stability and shelf-life, enzymes and reaction buffers are supplied separately in the KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) Globin. For a streamlined “with-bead”protocol, a reagent master mix with a minimum of 10% excess is prepared for each of these enzymatic steps, as outlined in Tables 2 – 9.
   
   
   Volumes of additional reagents required for the KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) Globin protocol are listed in Table 10.
   
   
   In some cases, master mixes may be constituted with varying proportions of the total final water requirement. In the examples given in the tables below, all of the required water is included in each master mix, allowing the entire reaction mix to be added in a single pipetting step.
   
   
   At the safe stopping point at A-tailing, a portion of the water and reaction buffer are added to the beads for storage at 2°C to 8°C for ≤24 hrs.To resume library construction, prepare the master mix with the remaining volume of water and reaction buffer, and the required volume of enzyme. Recommendations on how to formulate the master mix after this safe stopping point are provided in Table 7B.
   
   
   Always ensure that the reagents required for oligo hybridization, rRNA/globin mRNA depletion, DNase digestion and the PEG/NaCl Solution are fully equilibrated to room temperature before use.
   
   
   Table 2. Oligo hybridization
   
   
   *If also processing non blood-derived samples, or if following the KAPA RiboErase (HMR) workflow, the volume of Globin Hybridization Oligos (HMR) must be replaced with an equal volume of RNase-free water (1 μL). For more information refer to the KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) technical data sheet – KR1151 v5.17 (or later).

2. Oligo Hybridization and rRNA/globin mRNA Depletion
   This protocol requires 100 ng – 1 μg of total RNA, in 10 μL of RNase-free water.

   1. Ensure that the hybridization master mix (Table 2) and the depletion master mix (Table 3) are prepared and kept at room temperature before use.
   2.

For more information, refer to the KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase (HMR) technical data sheet – KR1151 v5.17 (or later).
   3. If rRNA and globin mRNA depletion efficiency will be assessed using qRT-PCR, a process control (no RNase H) will be required. Please refer to Appendix for more information.
