Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome rRNA Depletion Kit

Fast, efficient depletion of undesirable host and pan-bacterial rRNA from complex microbial samples (eg stool) for metatranscriptomics research.

Overview

The Illumina Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome rRNA Depletion Kit is a streamlined RNA-to-analysis solution for metatranscriptome sequencing of complex microbial samples, including stool.

Key features

  • Perform deeper analysis and gain insights into microbial activity by reducing unwanted reads and increasing coverage of expressed bacterial RNA.

  • Eliminate unwanted rRNA from bacteria common in the adult and infant human gut, as well as host RNA from human, mouse, using proven Ribo-Zero Plus enzymatic ribodepletion technology.

  • Analyze complex metatranscriptomes with complimentary access to the BaseSpace Microbiome Metatranscriptomics app.

Robust ribodepletion with the Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome Depletion kit

The Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome Depletion kit effectively depletes rRNA (5S, 16S, and 23S) levels for human and bacterial species in a single-tube reaction. Results are compared to Ribo-Zero Plus rRNA Depletion Kit and a commercially available ribodepletion kit from Company X. Two stool mixtures were tested. Sample 1 is a mixture containing both adult and infant human stool samples, while Sample 2 is a commercially available stool sample from Zymo (Cat no. 6331).
