What is RNA CS (RCS)?

What is RNA CS (RCS)?

The RNA CS (RCS) is the RNA Calibration Strand is the Enolase II from YHR174W. The transcript is 1,314 nucleotides long and also includes an additional 30-nucleotide poly(A) tail. The reference fasta file for the YHR174W ENO2 mRNA is available for download here.

  • RCS is included in the Direct RNA Sequencing kit (SQK-RNA004)
  • The RNA Control Expansion (EXP-RCS001) includes three tubes of RCS

The concentration of the RCS vials was increased from 15 ng/µl (RNA004.20.0001 or older and RCS001.10.0004 or older) to 50 ng/µl (RNA004.30.001 or newer and RCS001.20.0001 or newer)
