The RiboMinus™ Eukaryote Kit for RNA-Seq provides truly complete transcriptome isolation for next generation sequencing analysis by offering a method for selective depletion of up to 99% of the 5S, 5.8S, 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA from total RNA versus poly-A or cap binding methods, which can introduce bias and select for only part of the transcriptome.

The RiboMinus™ Eukaryote Kit for RNA-Seq Offers:

• A simple, yet selective depletion procedure that uses a sequence-specific probe to capture rRNA
• Rapid and efficient removal of rRNA-probe complex using magnetic bead technology

Three Steps to an rRNA-free Preparation Suitable for Transcriptome Analysis
The removal of large ribosomal RNA using the RiboMinus™ kit is a reliable and robust three-step procedure. Hybridize the RNA sample to the RiboMinus™ Probe in a water bath or heat block, then remove probe-rRNA complexes using the RiboMinus™ magnetic beads included in the kit. Concentrate the depleted RNA preparation by ethanol precipitation, or by using the RiboMinus™ Concentration Module.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What species have you tested with your RiboMinus Eukaryote Kit for RNA-Seq?

With regard to species specificity, the following organisms have 0 mismatches for the LSU/SSU probes (LSU (28S) / SSU (18S) Probe perfect matches). This means the probes will remove the 18S and 28S sequences from the following species.

- Species from the Land: Human, mouse, rat, frog, rabbit, cow, pig, chicken, Drosophila,* Caenorhabditis elegans, midge, mosquito, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe)
- Species from the Sea: Sea squirt, coelacanth, lancelet, eel, salmon, sturgeon, ratfish, lamprey, brown plankton, zooplankton
- Plants: Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassica napus, rice, tomato, Humulus lupulus, Zea mays, wheat, soybean, pine, aspen

* The 28S and 18S probes in this kit respectively align 100% to the Drosophila 18S and 28S rRNA sequence. However, there are reports suggesting Drosophila (insect) 28S rRNA split into 2 smaller fragments co-migrating with 18S. The exact split site is not identified yet. But based on customer feedback, this kit does not remove the split 28S rRNA completely. We have not tested Drosophila samples with this kit.

The 5S and 5.8S sequences are more divergent, and thus the best probes possible have reduced species breadth:
- 5S: zero to 1 mismatch: human, mouse, rat, frog, chicken, Drosophila, C. elegans, A. thaliana, Z. mays
- 5.8S: zero mismatches: human, mouse, rat
