Abstract
Here we describe a rRNA depletion protocol based on RNase H digestion using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) specifically designed for C. elegans cytoplasmic rRNA (Fig. 1A). We suggest that this rRNA depletion protocol is applicable to RNA-seq applications where the yield of mRNA enrichment should be independent of poly(A) status, or any application which benefits from the removal of rRNA sequences, such ribosome profiling, or sequencing of non-coding RNAs other than rRNA.
