Hi Alex,
Your sequencing kit will not work for RNA because the kit uses a
DNA-templated DNA polymerase. However it should work fine for a cDNA.
Note that there must be only be the cDNA from one gene in your
sequencing reaction--if it is a mixture, sequencing the cDNA mixture
will not work.
What is the source of your mRNA?
