Impact of RNA isolation methods for RNA-seq on gene expression. Here RNA was isolated from HEK293T cells using either Columns, magnetic beads with/without proteinase K or magnetic beads without proteinase K but heating. RNA was processed using prime-seq.

Here silica column and bead based RNA isolation was performed. The two methods were compared using prime-seq to determine the effect of the RNA isolation method on gene expression quantification. This was tested for three different types of input samples, PBMCs, HEK293T cells and striatal mouse tissue to compare the RNA isolation over a range of inputs. The RNA isolation was performed with either 1000 or 10000 cells input. For each sample and experimental condition 8 technical replicates were performed.
