RNAseq protocol:
+
[[Notes]]
−
    Flash freeze tissue from six snakes, two organs per snake
 
−
    RNA range: 100 ng to 10 micrograms
 
−
        --> how do we know that the correct portion of tissue was sampled?
 
−
    Convert RNA to mRNA using polyT oligonucleotides attached to beads, such that mRNA base pairs with beads
 
−
    Convert mRNA to cDNA with RT (reverse transcriptase, uses RNA as a template to make DNA) and dNTP)
 
−
 
 
−
    -RNA fragmentation, cDNA synthesis, and clean-up
 
−
        high throughput sequencing has only ~75bp of accurate reads
 
−
        fragmentation takes one long mRNA and cuts it into similarly sized fragments so that there are more edges to read from
 
−
        How to prime every RNA simultaneously? Generate every possible hexamer for the primers (4^6 different combinations)
 
−
    Product:
 
−
    Look at images in pptx
 
−
    Second band of images: gel purified RNA
 
−
    Third band of images: reamplified (considered good cDNA library for RNAseq)
