Overview

Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment uses on-bead tagmentation followed by a simplified, single 90-minute hybridization step to provide an exceptionally fast solution for RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) applications. 

Fast, simple, and scalable workflow

Prepare and enrich sequence-ready libraries in less than nine hours total time with less than two hours of hands-on time. Combine with an Illumina high-throughput sequencing instrument for significantly more samples per run.

High-quality data from difficult samples

Enable delivery of reproducible results from limited starting material and damaged or degraded samples, such as formalin-fixed, paraffin- embedded (FFPE) tissues.

Affordable and thorough RNA-Seq

Maximize discovery power at a fraction of the sequencing depth. Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment is designed to provide exceptional capture efficiency and coverage uniformity, minimizing required sequencing depth for accurate detection without bias.

Flexible, modular panel design

Detect and discover allele-specific expression, fusion detection, biomarker screening, and more using a variety of pre-built, validated probes or custom probes for maximum flexibility.


Specifications


Required products

The complete RNA Prep with Enrichment workflow requires use of a library prep, a probe panel, and index adapters (all items sold separately).

Optional components include:

  • Illumina RNA Fast Hyb Enrichment—Includes enrichment reagents only for customers processing at a different plexity from what is recommended

  • Illumina RNA Prep, (L) Tagmentation—Includes pre-enrichment reagents only for customers processing at a different plexity from what is recommended

/ Results

Applications

The Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment enables flexibility in sample type and RNA input amounts in the preparation of targeted sequencing libraries for a wide range of RNA-Seq applications that support detection and discovery studies such as allele-specific expression, fusion detection, biomarker screening, and more.

Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment delivers a fast workflow

On-bead tagmentation and a single, 90-min hybridization step combine to deliver a faster workflow with fewer steps compared to TruSeq RNA Exome.

High-quality data from low input samples

Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment achieves high data concordance between input amounts of 10 ng and 100 ng total RNA from universal human reference (UHR).

Detection of BCR-ABL1 gene fusion from low-input samples

Libraries prepared from 10 ng RNA from the K-562 cell line using Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment and the Illumina Exome Panel resulted in successful detection of the BCR-ABL1 gene fusion. Top alignment track shows all reads, bottom track shows only reads supporting the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene.

Coverage of coding regions with Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment

Libraries prepared from 10 ng UHR RNA and 20 ng FFPE RNA using Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment and the Illumina Exome Panel show more than 85% of the data generated aligned to coding transcripts and UTRs. Data from TruSeq RNA Exome libraries are shown for comparison.

Gene fusion detection from low-input and FFPE samples

100% call rate for BCR-ABL1 and TPM3-NTRK1 gene fusions across six replicates of the K-562 cell line (RNA integrity number, RIN = 7.4, DV200 = 90%) and a colorectal cancer cell line (RIN = 2.5, DV200 = 85%).

Fusion (source) RIN RNA input Detection
BCR-ABL 1 (K-562) 7.4 10 ng 6/6 replicates (100%)
TPM3-NTRK1 (colorectal cancer) 2.5 20 ng 6/6 replicates (100%)

FAQs

Illumina recommends using Agilent Technologies Universal Human Reference RNA (UHR) (Catalog no. 740000) as a positive control sample.

The Illumina Exome Panel, Respiratory Virus Oligos Panel V2, Viral Surveillance Panel, and Pan-Coronavirus Panel can be used with the Illumina RNA Prep and Enrichment kit.

 eBLTL are enrichment Bead-Linked Transposomes that tagment cDNA by fragmenting and adding adapter tag sequences in a single and rapid reaction step.

The 16-reaction kit enables a 1-plex workflow while the 96-reaction kit enables a 3-plex workflow. Additional accessory products can be added to either workflow to process at a different plexity from what is recommended.
