is a unicellular green alga that is an emerging model species for studies in fields such as biofuel production, ketocarotenoid biosynthesis and metabolism. The recent availability of a high-quality genome assembly facilitates systems-level analysis, such as RNA-Seq. However, cells of this alga have a tough cell wall, which is a challenge for RNA purification. This protocol was designed specifically to breach the cell wall and isolate high-quality RNA suitable for RNA-Seq studies.
是一种单细胞绿藻,是生物燃料生产、酮类胡萝卜素生物合成和代谢等领域研究中新兴的模式物种。最近高质量基因组组装的可得性促进了系统水平的分析,如RNA测序。然而,这种藻类的细胞有一层坚韧的细胞壁,这对RNA纯化来说是一个挑战。本方案专门设计用于突破细胞壁并分离适合RNA测序研究的高质量RNA。
