+[[!pmid 36324505 desc="“We observed [a range of 2.2 to 8.3-fold increase in yield] of amplicons from the Panhandle method compared to the ONT method.” “Further, the cDNA profile of samples from Panhandle protocol showed a significantly reduced amount of molecules below 600 bp compared to ONT protocol.” “Reads generated with the ONT protocol showed a marked 3′ bias with only about 40–50% of reads showing full-length coverage of the genes”"]]

+1 μL of 10 mm dNTPs +
+Final volume: 11.6 μL pre-RT reaction.

+A 10.4μL reverse transcription (RT) reaction containing
+1 X Maxima H Buffer,
+1 μL RNaseOut (NEB),
+2 μL of 100 μm TSO,
+2 μL of 5M Betaine (Sigma-Aldrich),
+and 1 μL of Maxima H reverse transcriptase was added to the pre-RT reaction and the reaction incubated as shown in Supplementary Protocol.

+5 μL of cDNA was used
+in a 50 μL PCR reaction containing
+1 μL of 10 μm PCR primer and
+25 μL of 2x LongAmp Taq Master mix (NEB).
+
+PCR was performed as shown in Supplementary Protocol. 20 PCR cycles were used. Following PCR, 1 μL of exonuclease (NEB) was added to each reaction and incubated for 15 min at 37°C followed by 15 min at 80°C and the samples were purified using 1x AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter).

complex sample, relatively long ITR (compared to primer length), high
[annealing temperature], and high concentration of primer should be used.”.
+Suppression PCR was used to prepare transcriptome library for Oxford Nanopore
+Technologies sequencers ([[Bayega and coll., 2022|biblo/36324505]]).
+Transcript coverage and amplicon length were improved. Surprisingly, yield was
+also higher.
