The QuantSeq FWD Kit is a library preparation protocol designed to generate Illumina compatible libraries of sequences close to the 3’ end of polyadenylated RNA.
QuantSeq FWD contains the Illumina Read 1 linker sequence in the second strand synthesis primer, hence NGS reads are generated towards the poly(A) tail, directly reflecting the mRNA sequence (see workflow). This version is the recommended standard for gene expression analysis. With the QuantSeq FWD HT Kit (015.384) Lexogen furthermore provides a high-throughput version with optional dual indexing (i5 and i7 indices) allowing up to 384 samples to be multiplexed in one lane.
