RNA-seq of blood-derived RNA can aid discovery of the cause of disease, as well as preclinical research. However, the high content of globin mRNA and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in blood samples limits the detection of rare transcripts and splice variants. The ScriptSeq™ Complete Kit (Blood) is a new method to prepare directional RNA-seq libraries that are virtually free of globin mRNA and rRNA contamination and exhibit high detection of reference and novel genes.
