RNA labeling
From Genome@Yale
- Retrieve 50ug total RNA sample in 75% EtOH (-80C)
- Add 1/40 volume 3M NaOAc
- -80C 20-30 minutes
- Spin 14K rpm 10 minutes
- 100uL 70% EtOH
- Remove EtOH and air dry pellet
- Add 12.9uL dH2O (DEPC treated or RNase free)
- Add 2.5uL anchored oligo dT17 or random primer (2ug/uL)
- Heat the mixture to 70C 10 minutes
- Snap chill on ice
- Add 3uL Cy3 or Cy5 dCTP
- Add 11.6uL superscript mix
- 42C for 2 hours
- 1uL RNase A (10mg/mL)
- 1hr at 37C
- Qiagen PCR purification
- OD labeled DNA using Nanodrop
