Rapid Isolation of RNA from Conifer Needles
Conifer_RNA_prep. Conifers join a long list of 'recalcitrant' plants that are difficult for RNA extraction, and fail using "traditional" RNA extraction kits. We use a modification of the method by LeProvost, 2007.
Isolation of poly(A) mRNA with Sera-Mag Oligo(dT) beads
mRNA_Prep. There are many methods for isolating mRNA from total RNA. We have had excellent results with Sera-Mag Oligo(dT) beads. We use this approach for constructing Illumina mRNA-Seq libraries, but it should be useful for any application that demands rRNA-depleted mRNA.
Rapid Isolation of DNA from Conifer Needles
DNA_Seq Prep. Conifers join a long list of 'recalcitrant' plants that are difficult for DNA extraction. We use a modification of the Fast-Prep method.
