rRNA depletion probe

Question

[--panda--]

Does anyone know some information about the ribosome depletion kit in RNA-seq (eg. Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit)?I know that the sequences of the probes are classified information for the company, but what I'm asking is just some info about: 1. Roughly how long may the probe be? 2. Is the probe more likely to target the 5' rRNA sequence?

Thanks!

just a hint, dive into their patents with google patent, they are available now. I do believe 5SrRNA is also captured from memory.
