Uniformity of Coverage across ERCC-00002 and ERCC-00145
Dir_RNA_Transcript_Figure8
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was depleted from Human Universal Reference RNA (Agilent #740000) with recommended amounts of ERCC RNA Spike-In Mix I (Thermo Fisher Scientific #4456740) and libraries were made using 1 µg, 100 ng and 5 ng input with NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Kit (plus the NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit (Human/Mouse/Rat)), and using 1 µg and 100 ng input with Illumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero™ Gold, Kapa Stranded RNA-Seq Kit with RiboErase and Kapa HyperPrep Kit with RiboErase. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq® 500 using paired-end mode (2x76 bp). Coverage across transcripts ERCC-00002 (A) and ERCC-00145 (B) were assessed by mapping reads directly to the ERCC sequences and assessing coverage using bedtools cov in 100 bins along the transcript length. Libraries prepared using the NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA kit provided good coverage across the transcripts at all input amounts.
