Argopecten Qubit 20220407

Objective and summary:

  • RNA extractions of juvenile A. irradians from OA challenge

  • scallops extracted today were fixed in RNAlater alongside a physiological suite on 10/27/21

  • NOTE 1: I am targetting 10 samples per treatment (8 and 7.5) on each date (10/27/21 and 2/28/22) for TagSeq. On 20220406 there were 4 samples with low yield, two from pH 8 and two from pH 7.5. I ran additional samples here with hope to get higher yield.

  • NOTE 2: 4 extractions were completed for Molly’s Solidissima samples (surf clams) and are labelled as ‘M1, M2,.. etc’.

‘8’ represents the low pCO2 treatment (higher pH) ‘7.5’ represents the high pCO2 treatment (low pH)

‘**’ represents samples with low ng/ul yield - additional samples from these treatments were repeated to achieve a total of 10 samples per treatment (8 and 7.5) for TagSeq
