Single Cell/Ultra-low amount RNA
Code No.RMD-101T, RMD-101
Transcription with Random Displacement Amplification) method for preparing cDNA for NGS analysis from single-cell and Ultra-low amount RNA.
RT-RamDA™ is a novel cDNA amplification method utilizing the strand displacement activity of reverse-transcriptase. GenNext RamDA-seq™ Single Cell Kit can detect not only poly(A) RNA but also non-poly(A) with high sensitively by using random primer or NSR primer*, allowing the detection of many genes compared with the conventional method.
* RamDA-seq™ and RT-RamDA™ are a trademark of RIKEN, Institute of Physical and Chemical Research
* NSR primer is abbreviation for Not so random primer.
NSR primer is designed random primer to avoid synthesizing cDNA from the rRNAs by removing 6-mers that exactly match the rRNA sequences from N6 random primers.
In order to perform more efficient NGS analysis, it is necessary to reduce the rRNA contamination rate.As a countermeasure, we also offer Not so random primers for humans and mice sold separately.

RT-RamDA™ is an abbreviation for "Reverse Transcription with Random Displacement Amplification" developed by the Bioinformatics Research and Development Team, RIKEN Center for Biosystems Science and Technology.It is a new cDNA amplification method that applies the strand substitution activity of reverse transcriptase, and it is possible to prepare cDNA not only from poly (A) RNA but also from non-poly (A) -derived RNA for using raondom primer.
Unlike conventional method using Oligo-dT primer, cDNA for full-length total RNA-seq can be synthesized by RT-RamDA™ method.
In addition, because cDNA is amplified at the same time as it is synthesized, RT-RamDA™ method does not require amplification adaptors and PCR amplification step, and it reduces the biases caused by PCR amplification.

Using next generation sequencing data, cDNA and double-stranded DNA were prepared using either the GenNext™ RamDA-seq™ Single Cell Kit (Code No. RMD-101) or a Company A kit, with a sample input of 10 pg of total RNA extracted from mouse ES cells. The GenNext™ RamDA-seq™ Single Cell Kit uses the NSR Primer Set for mouse (code No.NSR-102). PCR for cDNA amplification, which is not required with the GenNext™ RamDA-seq™ Single Cell Kit, was performed for 18 cycles with the Company A kit. The libraries were then prepared with the Nextera™ XT DNA Library Preparation Kit and sequenced with the Illumina MiSeq instrument. Thus, the GenNext™ RamDA-seq™ Single Cell Kit was shown to detect approximately 5,000 more genes than the Company A kit.
Analysis was performed on the sequence data obtained with the method described for Example 1. The GenNext™ RamDA-seq™ Single Cell Kit can detect lncRNAs such as Neat1 and Malat1, which were difficult to capture with the Company A kit over their entire length.
