Today, Sam, Steven and I met to discuss a pooling plan for libraries (details in post). From that meeting it was decided that I should extract RNA from more day 12 samples, specfically from cold, warm, and infected and uninfected treatments. All 24 samples had RNA. An updated sample summary... [Read More]

Crab This coming week: Finish extracting RNA for pools by next week Select samples for 6 pools Day 9 infected Day 9 uninfected Day 12, cold, infected Day 12, cold, uninfected Day 12, warm, infected Day 12, warm, uninfected Run those samples for pooling on bioanalyzer; if they look good,...

Today I extracted RNA from 24 more samples from Day 12. Mix of infection status and temperature exposures. There was RNA in 23 out of 24 samples. No obvious mistakes were made, and at the end of the post I provide an updated RNA sample summary in preparation for our... [Read More]

Today I did some more extractions, but moved on to day 12. I did a mix of all groupings (temperature and infection statuses). All extracted samples had detectable RNA! Details in post. Additionally, I’ll give a summary table of what all I have extracted so far. [Read More]

Today I did another round of Day 9 infected (12) and uninfected (12) tanner crab hemolymph RNA extractions. I also ran 2ul of the eluted 15ul RNA on Qubit. Results and details in post. [Read More]
