Diagenode’s CATS RNA-seq Kit utilizes the innovative “Capture and Amplification by Tailing and Switching” (CATS), a ligation-free method to produce DNA libraries for next generation sequencing from low input amounts of RNA.

  • Diverse transcripts detection
  • Excellent reproducibility with ultra low inputs down to 100 pg
  • Great performance on challenging samples

    CATS relies on polynucleotide tailing for capturing the 3’-ends of nucleic acids and the template switching ability of MMLV-RT to capture the 5’ ends for cDNA synthesis. This kit allows for generating Illumina compatible ready-to-sequence libraries from RNA inputs as low as 100 picograms (rRNA depleted or polyA selected) in just a few hours.

    Libraries retain strand specificity of origin. Unlike competing solutions, our CATS RNA-seq kit exhibits higher library efficiency versus ligation-based methods providing higher complexity from better template capture and minimal bias due to lower amplification requirements.

    • Ligation-free  assay - increased efficiency and minimum bias
    • Low inputs down to 100 picograms
    • User-friendly: reduced hands-on  time with fewer steps than competing methods
    • Libraries ready to sequence in only 5 hours
    • Retaining strand specificity of origin

    Workflow

    Schematic representation of the workflow used by the CATS Small RNA-seq Kit. Single stranded RNAs are first dephosphorylated (end-repaired) and polyadenylated at the 3’-end. Subsequently, a cDNA strand synthesis is performed in the presence of the anchored poly(dT) oligonucleotide containing terminal P7 Illumina® adaptor sequence. When the reverse transcriptase reaches the 5’-end of the RNA it switches the template and continue DNA synthesis over the template-switching oligonucleotide (TSO). The TSO contains three 3’-terminal ribonucleotides X (rX) which facilitate the template switching and carry the terminal P5 Illumina® adaptor sequence. During PCR pre-amplification of the first cDNA strand, Illumina® adapters carrying P5 and P7 terminal sequences (required for clustering on an Illumina® flow cell) as well as index sequences are incorporated into the library. The sum size of the adapters (the size of “empty” library) is 143 bp.

    DNA/RNA library preparation
    Most of the major next-generation sequencing platforms require ligation of specific adaptor oligos to fragmented DNA or RNA prior to sequencing After input DNA has been fragmented, it is end-repaired and blunt-ended. The next step is a A-tail... Read more
