Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system and method for depleting target nucleic acids from a nucleic acid sample. In one aspect, a kit according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of DNA probes. Each of the DNA probes is hybridizable to form a heteroduplex with at least one of a plurality of target RNA transcripts in a nucleic acid sample. The number of unique target RNA transcripts hybridized by the plurality of DNA probes is at least three. The kit further includes an enzyme having RNA-DNA hybrid ribonucleotidohydrolase activity, where degrades at least the RNA portion of the heteroduplex.
