RNA hydrolysis at elevated RT temps isn't a footnote. It's actively degrading your long transcripts during the reaction. New data at #RNATx '26 quantifies how much and shows what changes with an RT at 30°C. 3 modalities: SR, PacBio LR, and ONT DRS. The gains for transcripts ≥10kb are substantial.

uMRT® has peer-reviewed publications across 5 application areas on our website. Find the work most relevant to your research, from rare #transcriptprofiling to #RNAmods mapping, #shortread or #longread #RNAseq; access key research within one click! See🔗below! #lncRNA #UltraMarathonRT #RNASky

Dr. Graveley's lab used uMRT to tackle the most complex #alternativesplicing in any model organism, #Drosophila #DSCAM, with its thousands of possible isoforms, and #circRNAs accumulating with age. His talk is a masterclass in what LR #RNASeq can do when your RT doesn't give up. bit.ly/4tNiZ1T

Long transcripts still get lost in #ONT direct RNA-seq without the right RT. Tonight at #RNA2026, we're sharing new data on how uMRT fixes that. (P2-293) Improved long transcript representation in ONT direct RNA-seq with UltraMarathonRT® — tonight, 8:30–10:30 PM, Room 517bc & 520 #RNA #RNASeq

MMLVs stall on long, structured RNA, and the mischaracterizations of the transcriptome often go undetected in your data. We're presenting new data at #RNA2026 tonight! May 27, 8–10 PM (ID# 672) Ultra long transcript identification in long-read RNA-seq with uMRT 🔗 👇 @rnasociety.bsky.social #RNA

If you're running #ONT Direct RNA Seq with the current Induro protocol, your #RNA may be partially degraded before it ever reaches the pore. A new preprint demonstrates that substantial RNA hydrolysis occurs with RT buffer conditions at 60°C and that uMRT at 30°C is a better solution. 🔗👇 #RNASky

Detained introns. Alternative polyadenylation. Complex isoforms. Dr. Paul Boutz (U Rochester) showed at our recent webinar that LR-seq with uMRT captures what short-read methods miss — including in cancer transcriptomics. Watch now: bit.ly/4tNiZ1T #RNA #RNASky #ONT #nanoporeconf #RNASeq

Your RNA-seq library prep may be hiding biology from you. We'll be at #RNA26 in Montréal showing how UltraMarathonRT reveals RNA biology that retroviral RTs miss. Come find us in the Exhibitor Hall or at our poster sessions. Details in the link below 👇 #RNASeq #RNA #RNASky

Get more from the pore! RNAConnect Sr Sci and LR #RNASeq fanboy George Maio, PhD, gave a sneak preview of our newest #ONT #DRS and #cDNA data at the JAXLRSW earlier this week. Bottom line: More of those long isoforms you’ve been missing are now in reach. #RNA #RNASeq #Nanoporeconf #uMRT

#ONT #DRS is great for long #RNAs, unless they’re hydrolyzed during library prep. During this webinar, Dr. Underwood showed how uMRT outperforms other RTs during library prep. Full-length cDNA synthesis = more reads w/longer transcripts (shown here with human brain) bit.ly/4tNiZ1T #Nanoporeconf
