Still no clear RNA bands on Bioanalyzer; Also working to get diff. exp. for GSS
Today I went through the DNase-free plan with 4 of the extracted crab samples. There was initially quite a bit of DNA, then after I used the Turbo DNA-free Kit, there was significantly less DNA. The Bioanalyzer still didn’t look super great… detail in post. Also, I’m working through kallisto...

Day 12, cold and warm, infected, uninfected RNA extractions - RNA in 24/24 samples
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...
