Reverse Transcription - Ronit’s C.gigas DNased RNA from 20181115

Quantified Ronit’s DNased RNA earlier today and proceeded with reverse transcription using 100ng of DNased RNA with oligo dT primers (Promega) and M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

RNA and oligo dTs were incubated at 70^oC for 10mins in a PTC-200 thermal cycler (MJ Research) without a heated lid and immediately placed on ice.

A master mix of buffer, dNTPs, and M-MLV was distributed to each sample (10uL to each sample), mixed, and incubated at 42^oC for 1hr, 3min at 95^oC, and then held overnight at 4^oC in the PTC-200 thermal cycler.

A 1:5 working dilution of each cDNA (5uL cDNA + 20uL PCR H₂O was made and will be used for all subsequent qPCRs.

All samples were stored in Ronit’s -20^oC box.
