Overall, the yields are good. The 260/280 ratios are mediocre. Will proceed with DNase treatment.
DNased 1.5ug of RNA from each sample using the Turbo DNA-free Kit (Ambion/Life Technologies), following the “rigorous” protocol.
Briefly:
50μL reactions were carried out in 0.5mL tubes
added 1μL of DNase to each tube
incubated 30mins @ 37C
added additional 1μL of DNased
incubated 30mins @ 37C
added 0.2 vols (10.2μL) of DNase Inactivation Reagent
incubated and mixed for 2mins @ RT
spun 1.5mins, 10,000g @ RT
transferred 50μL of supe to sterile 1.5mL snap cap tubes
spec’d on Roberts Lab NanoDrop1000
Samples were stored @ -80C in Shellfish RNA Box #6. Will quantify at a later date.
