RNA
SNP detection using RNA-sequences of candidate genes associated with puberty in cattle.
RNA-Seq-based transcriptome and the reproduction-related genes for the aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Hemiptera, Aphididae).
Source of bacterial RNA in chronic otitis media with effusion
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the bacterial RNA detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR methods in middle ear effusion (MEE) for pediatric chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) originated from live bacteria. Degradation of RNA was observed by spectroscopic analysis; we also investigated the effect of MEE on the digestive activity of RNase. The optical density of RNA solution was stable within 3 h. MEE could not degrade the RNA, while RNase could rapidly digest the RNA.
Analysis of blood processing conditions to obtain high-quality total RNA from human leukocyte concentrate
Blood samples are used as a biological source to discover biomarkers of hematological and non-hematological disorders. The present study shows the impact of different experimental conditions associated with cell lysis buffer, TRI-reagent protocol and blood cell storage buffer and their correlation with the quantity, quality and Adrenomedullin gene expression levels of total RNA when RT-PCR technique is used. A leukocyte cell bank protocol is also proposed for further mRNA expression analysis using RNAlater as storage buffer.
