Bound guide #RNA can stop a conventional RT before it reaches your target region, inflating apparent #CRISPR knockdown in #RTqPCR. UltraMarathonRT's strand displacement activity means it can read straight through it — accurate KD/KO quantitation validated across Csm, PspCas13b & CasRx. 🔗⬇

RNA hydrolysis at elevated RT temps isn't a footnote. It's actively degrading your long transcripts during the reaction. New data at #RNATx '26 quantifies how much and shows what changes with an RT at 30°C. 3 modalities: SR, PacBio LR, and ONT DRS. The gains for transcripts ≥10kb are substantial.

#ONT #DRS is great for long #RNAs, unless they’re hydrolyzed during library prep. During this webinar, Dr. Underwood showed how uMRT outperforms other RTs during library prep. Full-length cDNA synthesis = more reads w/longer transcripts (shown here with human brain) bit.ly/4tNiZ1T #Nanoporeconf

Full-length cDNA synthesis means more reads spanning longer transcripts, shown here with human brain using uMRT.
