HIGHLIGHTS
Simplest protocol: RNA to library in less time with easy handling driven by the SwitchFree™ technology.

DESCRIPTION
Zymo-Seq SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit is an all-in-one 3′ mRNA library prep kit that provides a simple workflow to generate mRNA libraries for next-generation sequencing in about 4 hours. The kit’s simplicity is driven by the novel SwitchFree technology that ligates P7 adapter directly to the first-strand cDNA without “switching” to a different strand. This simplifies reagent handling for easy and fast library preparations. This Zymo-Seq SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit features built-in unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) allowing accurate evaluation of duplication rate and quantification of gene expression. This all-in-one 3′ mRNA library prep kit is compatible with an input as little as 10 ng of total RNA, making it an ideal tool for simple and efficient mRNA expression analysis. This kit offers scalable sample multiplexing suitable for high-throughput gene counting. The Zymo-Seq SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit contains all the necessary reagents required for 3′ mRNA library preparation, including unique dual indexing primers and the magnetic beads for cleanup.
Equipment Needed (user provided)
Thermal cycler with heated lid, magnetic stand for 0.2 mL PCR tubes, and microcentrifuge for 0.2 mL PCR tubes and 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
Input Quality
RNA should be free of DNA contamination and enzymatic inhibitors, with A260/A280 and A260/A230 ≥ 1.8. RNA with lower purity ratios (A260/A280 and A260/A230) should be treated with DNase I and purified with the RNA Clean & Concentrator™ (Cat. No. R1013) prior to processing. RNA should be suspended in water, TE, or a low-salt buffer.
Intact RNA (RNA Integrity Number or RIN ≥ 8.0) performs optimally with this kit.
For degraded RNA input, e.g., those with a size distribution peaking at ≤ 500 nt, or RIN < 4, see Section 1, Step 4 of the protocol for the suggested modification. Additionally, use a higher amount of input whenever possible.
Library Storage
Libraries eluted in DNA Elution Buffer (provided) may be stored at ≤ 4°C overnight or ≤ -20°C for long-term storage.
Processing Time
~4 hours
RNA Input
Compatible with 10 – 500 ng of total RNA.
Sequencing Platform Compatibility
Libraries are compatible with all Illumina® sequencing platforms except HiSeq® X. (Illumina® originally limits the applications on HiSeq® X exclusively for whole-genome libraries. Please confirm with the sequencing service provider for acceptability and additional details if expecting to sequence Zymo-Seq SwitchFree™ 3′ mRNA libraries on HiSeq® X Series sequencers.)
The kit should be compatible with purified total RNA from any organism where mature coding RNAs contain poly-A tails (e.g., eukaryotes).
Certain prokaryotes do have poly-A tails in their mRNA, therefore it may be technically possible to generate libraries from prokaryotic RNA. However, poly-A tails in prokaryotes may serve different functions than in eukaryotes (such as serving as a marker for mRNA degradation). Because the intrinsic functions of the poly-A tails differ between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, we do not recommend SwitchFree 3′ mRNA-Seq to study prokaryotic organisms and cannot guarantee data quality if one proceeds with prokaryotic RNA.
Technically this kit can work with degraded RNA with low RIN scores, although the performance may be negatively impacted. Intrinsically, the method of 3′ mRNA library preparation may not capture protein coding transcripts as effectively from degraded inputs due to the likely damaged or missing poly-A tails.
If it is necessary to use degraded samples, we recommend increasing the input amount, amplifying with more PCR cycles and skipping Section 1, Step 4 of the protocol. Alternatively, for degraded RNA input consider using a total RNA library kit such as the Zymo-Seq RiboFree Total RNA Library Kit (R3000/R3003) which does not rely on intact poly-A tails.
It is possible to generate libraries with less than 10 ng of total RNA as input with this kit; however, the quality of such libraries is not guaranteed. Please contact tech@zymoresearch.com for recommendations and more details.
We have not directly tested this type of input with the SwitchFree kit, but in principle it should be possible to generate libraries using mRNA input. Please contact tech@zymoresearch.com for recommendations and more details.
DNA contamination will adversely impact the accuracy and sensitivity of quantitative measures for gene expression and differential gene expression analysis. Therefore, we recommend removing DNA contamination from the RNA input prior to performing the Zymo-Seq SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit workflow. For extracted RNA, we recommend using the RNA Clean & Concentrator-5 (R1013), which includes DNase I treatment and subsequent clean-up. This method has been validated for use with the Zymo-Seq SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit workflow.
Yes. All reagents to generate indexed, stranded cDNA libraries are included. These include the reagents for reverse transcription with built-in UMIs, adapter ligation, and library amplification with UDIs, as well as the magnetic beads for reaction cleanups.
The SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit generates libraries corresponding to mRNA (coding genes), whereas the RiboFree Total RNA Library Kit generates libraries that correspond to the entire transcriptome (both coding and non-coding genes). In addition, SwitchFree sequencing reads cover primarily the 3′ ends of transcripts, whereas RiboFree reads provide uniform 5′ to 3′ coverage. For more details, stay tuned for our upcoming blog! Meanwhile, contact tech@zymoresearch.com if you need further information.
Unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) are short sequences serving as molecular tags that enhance read deduplication and accuracy of gene expression quantification. Unique dual indexes (UDIs) are PCR primers with barcodes that allow multiplexed libraries to be sequenced together. For more details, stay tuned for our upcoming blog! Meanwhile, contact tech@zymoresearch.com if you need further information.
UMIs are built into the kit protocol. Therefore, they cannot be omitted during library preparation. However, their usage for bioinformatic analysis is optional. You can simply skip “Extracting UMIs” and proceed with bioinformatic analysis using Read 2 directly according to Appendix E: Bioinformatic Analysis in the protocol. For further information, please contact tech@zymoresearch.com.
Humidity and temperature vary between labs, so drying time can differ. We recommend starting with 5 minutes of air-dry time and adjusting as needed. Keep in mind that smaller volumes of beads will dry faster than larger volumes, so adjust the dry time accordingly when performing the Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3 bead cleanups. Please see the figure below for an example of over-, under-, and optimally (in the middle) dried beads.
The kit is designed to remove most adapter dimers. Occasionally, full-length adapter dimers may still remain. Please refer to Appendix C for recommendations on how to remove them.
Library yield can vary depending on factors such as the quality and quantity of the input RNA, and the PCR cycle number during library amplification. As an example, using 100 ng of Universal Human Reference RNA (RIN > 8.0) as input, the library yield is > 5 nmol/L when amplified with 15 PCR cycles and eluted to 20 μL of DNA Elution Buffer.
Besides being included in the 96-prep SwitchFree 3′ mRNA Library Kit (R3009), the UDI indexes 1-96 are also sold separately as the Zymo-Seq UDI Primer Plate (Cat. No. D3096) for you to order.
This kit is compatible with any Illumina® sequencer except for the HiSeq X Series. Illumina® originally limits the applications on HiSeq® X exclusively for whole-genome libraries. Please confirm with the sequencing service provider for acceptability and additional details if expecting to sequence Zymo-Seq SwitchFree™ 3′ mRNA libraries on HiSeq® X Series sequencers. It is not directly compatible with the Ion Torrent®, Oxford Nanopore®, PacBio® or other non-Illumina platforms.
