Continuing extracting RNA and DNA from Pacu, Mcap, Pcomp - Hawai TPC - 121524

Extracting RNA and DNA from fragments of Pocillopora acuta, Montipora capitata, Porites compressa for the Hawaii TPC project

Protocols used

I’m continuing extracting RNA and DNA from frozen fragments of Pacuta, Mcap and Pcomp using the Zymo Quick-DNA/RNA Miniprep Plus Kit and the protocol linked above. The kit protocol is found here.

  • I eluted RNA and DNA samples in 80ul.

Qubit Results

I used Broad range RNA Qubit Protocol inked above. I will check the DNA samples after finishing with all extractions (for all samples). RNA samples were read twice, standard only read once.

  • Standard 1: 440.45
  • Standard 2: 9772.55

Gel

  • I used the protocol linked above with few modifications. I ran 11ul of RNA and 9ul of DNA. I added 4ul of gel green to the gel.
