RNA was isolated from the Control and V.tub+gigas samples from the 0, 1, & 24hr time points using 1mL TriReagent. No visible pellets. Used 20uL of 0.1%DEPC-H2O to resuspend RNA. Incubated @ 55C, 5mins. Spec’d.

Results: RNA looks OK, but not great. For the “V.tub + gigas t=1″ sample, the third spec reading is correct. The first two had the air bubble error.
