Number of Transcripts
With this unique streamlined method, high-
quality, full-length transcript sequencing libraries
are made directly from single cells, or from as
little as 2 pg – 200 ng of total RNA.
• Detect more transcripts, including
low-abundance transcripts
• Obtain uniform, full-length transcript coverage,
regardless of input amount or sample type
• Save time with a streamlined workflow,
minimal handling steps and hands-on time

Sequencing libraries were generated from Jurkat single cells (6 replicates) using the NEBNext
Single Cell/Low Input RNA Library Prep Kit, or the SMART-Seq
®
v4 Ultra
®
Low Input RNA
Kit for Sequencing plus the Nextera
®
XT DNA Library Prep Kit. Libraries were sequenced
on an Illumina
®
NextSeq
®
500. Each dot represents the number of transcripts identified at the
given Transcripts Per Kilobase Million (TPM) range, and each box represents the median,
first and third quartiles per replicate and method. Salmon 0.6 was used for read mapping and
quantification of all GENCODE v25 transcripts. Increased identification of low abundance
transcripts is observed with the NEBNext libraries.

Mending Muscle
Scientists race to develop CRISPR
therapies that could save the lives of kids
with muscle-wasting conditions.

Muscle’s Timekeepers
Just 20 years ago, scientists didn’t even
realize muscles had their own circadian
clocks. Now researchers are beginning to
appreciate the clocks’ importance in health.

The Elderly Muscle
Researchers untangle the multifarious
nature of muscle aging. So far, the only
reliable treatment is exercise.
