Extraction Notes

  • Gathered all samples and set aside on ice. Then added DNA/RNA Shield to all.
  • Digested for 3 hours and 10 minutes at 55°C
  • Some larvae did not appear to digest but liquid was dark yellow
  • After digestion, pelleted out additional tissue in all samples. Centrifuged at 1600 rcf for 1 min.
  • Added additional 15 µL of DNase I (without the buffer) to RNA sample 360.

Qubit
Quantified on April 18, 2019

  • Followed Broad Range dsDNA and RNA Qubit protocol
  • All samples were read twice
