Zymo-Seq RiboFree Total RNA Library Kit

Comprehensive Gene Detection for Every Transcriptome & Beyond

The Zymo-Seq RiboFree Kit Detects an Exceptional Number of Genes. Total RNA extracted from various species were used as inputs for library preparation using a single standard RiboFree protocol. The libraries were paired-end sequenced. STAR-aligned reads were quantified at the gene level using featureCounts or StringTie.

Maximize Your Sequencing Efficiency

>90% rRNA Depletion Across Organisms

The Zymo-Seq RiboFree Kit Produces Dense Coverage of Protein Coding Genes. Classification of the STAR-aligned reads was based on Ensembl annotations and RepeatMasker rRNA tracks from UCSC genome browser when applicable.

Unparalleled Multi-Species Compatibility

RiboFree Universal Depletion Provides Cross-Species Compatibility. The Zymo-Seq RiboFree Total RNA Library Kit is unmatched in cross-species compatibility thanks to an innovative probe-free depletion strategy. Leveraging the robust depletion kinetics, scientists are exploring diverse applications of RiboFree using samples from vertebrates, plants and more.

Suitable for Degraded Samples*

The Zymo-Seq RiboFree Kit Effectively Depletes rRNA from Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) Human Tissue RNA. Total RNA (500 ng) from FFPE tissues was used as input per sample with only one modification to the standard protocol: column cleanup using RNA Clean & Concentrator was adopted after depletion. Median values (n=20) are shown in the figure.

The Zymo-Seq RiboFree Kit has the Fastest Workflow from Total RNA to rRNA-depleted, NGS Libraries. The Zymo-Seq RiboFree Total RNA Library Kit offers a ≥ 30% reduction in workflow completion time compared to other available RNA library prep kits. Workflow time considers the hours required to complete both rRNA depletion and library preparation.
