Pan-Mussel
rRNA depletion kit
Efficient ribodepletion for mussels
The Pan-Mussel riboPOOL is designed to efficiently remove ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from mussel RNA samples. The product is compatible with most downstream applications, including different next generation sequencing workflows (both short and long-read sequencing).
The Pan-Mussel riboPOOL is optimized for high-quality and intact (RIN > 7) RNA samples.
The Pan-Mussel riboPOOL covers the following sequences:
| Sequence | Type | Covered |
|---|---|---|
| 28S rRNA | Cytoplasmic | Yes |
| 18S rRNA | Cytoplasmic | Yes |
| 5.8S rRNA | Cytoplasmic | Yes |
| 5S rRNA | Cytoplasmic | Yes |
| 16S rRNA | Mitochondrial | Yes |
| 12S rRNA | Mitochondrial | Yes |
Mussels, bivalve molluscs found in both marine and freshwater habitats, are recognized by their elongated, oval-shaped shells. They have gained attention in molecular biology studies as potential bioindicators due to their sensitivity to environmental changes. Research studies explore their genetics, focusing on adaptation mechanisms, which provide valuable insights into their survival strategies and evolutionary processes.
The Pan-Mussel riboPOOL was designed using the rRNA sequences from these species as templates:
Ctena imbricatula
Ctena galapagana
Ctena “yolanda”
Phacoides pectinatus
Codakia distinguenda
Codakia orbicularis
Benefits of using riboPOOLs for multiple species rRNA depletion
- Enzyme-free, fast & easy workflow
- Compatible with most downstream applications
- Wide range of input RNA amounts
- Possibility of combining with other riboPOOLs
- Compatible with lab automated workflows
Pan-Mussel Taxonomic Coverage
The Pan-Mussel riboPOOL is designed for efficient ribodepletion across Bivalvia. Pan-Mussel riboPOOL probes have been mapped against rRNA sequences of more than 30 bivalve species to ensure uniform coverage across the group.
