The present invention discloses a method and a kit for whole
transcriptome sequencing of a small amount of
tumor cells from fresh samples. Starting from a sample lysed from more than 5000
tumor cells within 8-9 hours, the first strand of cDNA is obtained and then the second strand of cDNA is generated. While exponentially amplifying with the
linker segment as the primer anchoring site, Illumina
library linkers are added to both ends of the cDNA to obtain a high-quality
cDNA library meeting the requirements of downstream analysis. It can amplify 10-20 ng of high-quality full-length double-stranded cDNA, with a reverse transcription and amplification
library construction success rate of more than 95%. The
cDNA library is fragmented by the
transposase method; after testing, the
lysis solution has good
lysis effects on different
tumor cells, can effectively exclude other interferences, ensure the integrity and concentration of
RNA, and can ensure that all tumor cells are lysed while the
RNA is not degraded; at the same time, the designed reverse transcription primer polyT is linked with
biotin at the 5' segment, and through specific binding with
streptavidin magnetic beads, the influence on subsequent data caused by genomic
contamination can be effectively avoided.
