Introduction:
Notebook for rotation in Dr. Albert Siryaporn lab. It’ll log notes, ideas and inspirations from papers I read; Save a copy of bioinformatic and statistical analysis I did for reproducible science!

Siryaporn lab protocol

  1. Using Hot-Phenol protocol for nucleic acids extraction from bacterial cells (Day1)
  2. DNase digest and RiboZero (remove DNA and rRNA from Day1 prep) (Day2)
  3. NEBNext kit - ligate adapters, generate cDNA, and add index tags (Day3,4)
    • note: there is an upgraded NEBNext kit E7760 in replace of E7420 in the old protocol. The total RNA input has broad range between 5 nanograms to 1 microgram.
    • Thermo Fisher has a MICROBExpress bacterial mRNA enrichment kit. It will be like RiboZero rRNA depleting kit.
    • Ongoing issue with RiboZero kit: ribozero probes can get incorporated into sequencing pipeline. Use reagents stochiometrically to avoid this.
