Top48 Hexamer RT Primer in vitro Validation

  • Designed 48 Hexamer RT primers that only match mRNA sequences and not rRNA
  • Do in vitro RT to make cDNA for sequencing
  • Use sequencing results to validate that these 48 primers prime mRNA more than rRNA when compared to Random Hexamer currently used for FISSEQ
