Abstract
The disclosed invention is related to a universal strand-specific protocol for the sequencing preparation of all classes of RNA. The protocol allows for sequencing for dozens to more than thousands of samples simultaneously. Specifically, the disclosed invention is a method for parallel sequencing target RNA from samples from multiple sources while maintaining source identification. The method includes providing samples of RNA comprising target RNA from two or more sources; labeling, at the 3' end, the RNA from the two or more sources with a first nucleic acid adaptor that comprises a nucleic acid sequence that differentiates between the RNA from the two or more sources; reverse transcribing the two or more sources to create a single stranded DNA comprising the nucleic acid sequence that differentiates between the RNA from the two or more sources; amplifying the single stranded DNA to create DNA amplification products that comprise the nucleic acid sequence that differentiates between the RNA from the two or more sources; sequencing the DNA amplification products thereby parallel sequencing target RNA from samples from multiple sources while maintaining source identification.
