| Abstract |
The direct retrieval and sequencing of environmental RNA is emerging as a powerful technique to elucidate the in situ activities of microbial communities. Here we provide a metatranscriptomic protocol describing environmental sample collection, rRNA depletion, mRNA amplification, cDNA synthesis, and bioinformatic analysis. In addition, the preparation of internal RNA standards and their addition to the sample are discussed, providing a method by which transcript numbers can be expressed as absolute abundances in the environment and more readily compared to other biogeochemical and ecological measurements. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 November 2020.
All research outputs
#5,929,026
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#1,676
of 13,368 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#67,541
of 308,917 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#68
of 587 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,368 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 308,917 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 587 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
