Abstract:Blood RNA is typically derived from blood tubes collected using standard venous phlebotomy practices. Venipuncture provides ample material for RNA extraction, but presents challenges when considering the time, labor, and acceptability among study participants. This study examines the utility of capillary blood collected through standard fingerstick practices as a replacement for venous blood as a source for blood RNA for RNA sequencing. Volunteer subjects will provide venous and fingerstick blood, and RNA from each sample will be extracted from each sample. Extracted RNA will be sequenced, and sequence data from each collection method will be compared to assess what differences exist between sample collection methods. If capillary blood RNA is determined to be a reliable source of gene expression data with equivalence to venous blood RNA, the methods developed in this study may be applied to future blood sample collections intended for RNA sequencing.
