Comparative evaluation for the globin gene depletion methods for mRNA sequencing using the whole blood-derived total RNAs

Abstract Background There are challenges in generating mRNA-Seq data from whole-blood derived RNA as globin gene and rRNA are frequent contaminants. Given the abundance of erythrocytes in whole blood, globin genes comprise some 80% or more of the total RNA. Therefore, depletion of globin gene RNA an...
