Since the O.lurida RNA I isolated on 20150506 showed residual gDNA via qPCR, I treated 1.5μg 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
• 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 #5 and Box #6.

All samples look pretty good except for HT1 8 (RNA concentration is ridiculously high!) and NT1 8 (RNA concentration is way below expected). Will check for residual gDNA via qPCR.
