Fig 5. Investigation of modified adapter combinations at lower RNA inputs.

Brain total RNA at 1000 or 100 ng input was tested with candidate modified adapters in a full library preparation workflow. The modified 3´ adapter was MP (n-1) and the modified 5´ adapter was either 2´ OMe (n) or 2´ OMe (n-2). Agarose gel analysis of the product from 12 cycles of PCR. No adapter dilutions were made.
