Today I extracted RNA from four practice samples using Tri-reagent, and without lyophilizing (lyophilizer is out of commission again for now). [Read More]

Crab Project Identify successful RNA extraction protocol Get extracting RNA going so that we can plan to send some more samples for library prep and sequencing Publish more DecaPod episodes (about 2 - one every two weeks) [Read More]

Today I submitted DecaPod RSS feed to Apple for approval to be published on iTunes! I also picked out some tubes for Tri-reagent RNA extraction without lyophilizing (it’s broken again) for Monday or Tuesday next week to get things moving again. [Read More]

At 10:30 am, I went to the lyoppilizer room and met up with Megan. My samples had gotten all over the inside of the manifold. Sam thinks it’s likely because the sampels thawed before they got on the lyophilizer, which is very likely because I brought them over on wet... [Read More]

Today I started using the lyophilizer on the samples I picked out (pellet and supernatant) and the pooled sample of the ones from Sam’s Qiagen RNeasy extraction that had “Out of range” Qubit results. [Read More]
