🗓 Date: March 28–31, 2026📍Location: David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA
From stubborn GC-rich transcripts to 3’ bias and poor gene body coverage to missing data due to RT jumping, bring your toughest RNA-Seq challenges. We’ll show you how UltraMarathonRT® (uMRT) library prep for both short-read and long-read can turn problem samples into publishable data.
RNAConnect is excited to exhibit again as a Silver Sponsor at the upcoming ABRF 2026 Annual Meeting. Visit booth #302 to see how our uMRT-powered workflows elevate RNA-Seq data quality for core facilities and shared genomics centers.
Let’s talk at Booth #302
Built for today’s RNA-seq challenges. When users flag GC bias, uneven coverage, or “missing isoforms,” the uMRT cDNA Synthesis & Amplification Kit is the new standard for:
- Escalated problem samples (degraded, long, or structured RNA)
- Challenging projects (full-length/long transcripts, GC-rich regions)
- Flagship publications & grant-critical work where data quality must be unimpeachable
What you’ll see at the booth (live data & workflows):
- 10–30% more genes detected across biotypes, including lncRNAs
- Truly uniform gene body coverage—reliable 5′–3′ profiles beyond 2 kb
- More accurate quantification of long transcripts (SIRV 4–12 kb)
- 2–3× more intron retention events detected for deeper biology
These advantages stem from uMRT’s ultra-processivity and intrinsic helicase activity that copies long/structured RNAs end-to-end at ~30 °C.
Primary Applications You Can Validate in your Core Lab
•   Bulk RNA-Seq with better gene detection and quantification
•   Isoform analysis with full-length cDNAs that resolve complex discovery enabled by long, contiguous coverage
Whether you’re fielding user complaints about sensitivity, fighting 5′/3′ coverage bias, or scoping an isoform-centric service, stop by #302. We’ll walk you through data, protocols, and adoption tips to position uMRT as your high-performance lane so your core can deliver results that stand up in reviews, grants, and publications.
