Total RNA was isolated using an RNeasy Plus minikit (Qiagen). RNA was isolated from six independent in vitro samples and from four or six independent in vivo samples collected 1 day or 2 weeks after infection, respectively. As a control, RNA was isolated from three independent samples of uninfected flea digestive tracts. The absence of genomic DNA contamination was verified by PCR using primers matching the chromosomal rtn locus sequences that were identical in the two Yersinia species. RNA quality and integrity were verified using a model 2100 Bioanalyzer and the RNA 6000 Nano Kit assay (Agilent) and quantitated using a Qubit fluorometer and a Qubit RNA HS assay kit (Invitrogen). Purified RNA was stored at −80°C until use.
RNA amplification was carried out as previously described (36 (link)). Briefly, 100 ng of total RNA was amplified and labeled with modified biotin-16-UTP (Roche Molecular Biomedicals) and biotin-11-CTP (PerkinElmer) by using a MessageAmp II-Bacteria kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Amplified RNA was then fragmented using Ambion fragmentation reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and hybridized to an RML custom Affymetrix GeneChip containing sequences for all Y. pestis CO92, Y. pestis KIM, and Y. pseudotuberculosis IP32953 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) and intergenic regions and scanned using an Affymetrix 7Gplus GeneChip scanner.

DNA microarrays with 50-bp oligo spots representing 3382 ORFs, approximately 3/4 of the Xoo KACC10331 genome, were synthesized and spotted on addressable electrodes of CustomArray™ 12K microarrays. Microarray analysis was performed according to the CustomArray™ 12K microarray protocol provided by CombiMatrix (CombiMatrix Corp.; http://www.combimatrix.com).
RNA was isolated from a stationary phase culture (OD600 = 0.8) using an RNeasy mini kit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen, Seoul, Korea). Total RNA was eluted with 50 μl of RNase-free water and quantified using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer (ND-1000). Each sample was run on a 1.2% agarose gel to verify the purity and integrity of the RNA. cDNA was synthesized using the MessageAmp™ II-Bacteria Kit (Thermo Scientific). Polyadenylation of the bacterial RNA was performed using Escherichia coli poly(A) polymerase and tailed RNA reverse-transcribed in a reaction mixture primed with an oligo (dT) primer and ArrayScript™ (Thermo Scientific) reverse transcriptase. Second-strand cDNA was synthesized and purified for in vitro transcription in a reaction mixture containing biotinmodified UTP and T7 RNA polymerase.

RNA was extracted following the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) procedure and the ethanol precipitation protocol. The remaining DNA was removed with TurboDNase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and the efficiency of removal was tested with PCR.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A RiboMinus™ Plant Kit for RNA-Seq (Invitrogen) was used for the removal of plant ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from total RNA in accordance with the manufacturer's manual. Then, the rRNA-free RNA fraction was concentrated by precipitation with 2 µL of GlycoBlue™ Coprecipitant (15 µg/µL; Invitrogen), 1/10 V of 3 M sodium acetate, pH 5.5 (Invitrogen), and 3 V of 96% ethanol. RNA precipitate was washed with 70% ethanol and resuspended with 40 µL of RNAse free water. Residual oligonucleotides were removed with DNAse I (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA) and RNA was purified using a Clean & Concentrator™ kit (Zymo Research) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The RNA concentration was measured with Qubit 2.0. To obtain a sufficient amount of mRNA for transcriptome analysis and real-time PCR, a single round of RNA amplification was performed with a MessageAmp II Bacteria kit (Invitrogen). Only plant mRNA was amplified because the polyadenylation step was omitted. The cDNA templates were then removed using DNAse I (Zymo Research) and amplified RNA purification was carried out with a SurePrep RNA Cleanup and Concentration Kit (Fisher BioReagents, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

RNA was extracted as previously detailed (Poretsky et al., 2009a (link)).

Mtb RNA from extracellular and intracellular samples was isolated, amplified, and labeled as previously described (Rohde et al., 2007 (link)). In brief, Mtb in guanidine thiocyanate was pelleted, washed once with PBS supplemented with 0.1% Tween 80, and treated with 10 mg/ml lysozyme.

Bacterial lysate was extracted once with chloroform, and total RNA was purified from the aqueous phase using an RNeasy kit (QIAGEN). Eluted RNA samples were treated with DNase I (Ambion) for 45 min at 37°C before storage at −70°C. The MessageAmpII-Bacteria kit (Ambion) was used to generate amplified RNA (aRNA) from 100 ng of total RNA input. Amino-allyl UTP was incorporated into aRNA during in vitro transcription to allow fluorophore labeling. 10 µg of modified aRNA from each sample was then labeled with Alexa Fluors (Invitrogen). After excess dyes were quenched by hydroxylamine, the labeled aRNA was purified using a MegaClear kit (Ambion).

After PEG precipitation, ethanol washing and dissolution of pellets in nuclease-free water, nucleic acids were treated with DNase or RNase before metatranscriptome and metagenome generation, respectively. Total RNA was amplified using the MessageAmp II-Bacteria Kit (Ambion Life Technologies) following the kit protocol, except that the linear amplification step was carried out for 14 h. Paired-end 101-bp reads were sequenced using the Illumina HighSeq2000 sequencer (Illumina) at the Norwegian Sequencing Centre (University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway).

Microbial mRNA Enrichment from Total RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enrichment of microbial messenger RNA (mRNA) from total RNA was performed based on sample-tailored rRNA-subtraction developed by Stewart et al.18 (link), supplemented with an additional step to remove poly(A)-tailed eukaryotic mRNA19 (link) (see Supplementary document for the detailed protocol). In brief, total RNA was hybridized with biotinylated probes targeting small and large subunits of bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic rRNA (total six probe types). These probes were generated with PCR-amplification of corresponding DNA samples obtained from different disease developmental stages (CP and BBD; i.e. a total of 12 types of rRNA probes were synthesized). Hybridized rRNA was then removed from total RNA with streptavidin-coated magnet beads. To subtract poly(A)-tailed mRNA from the remaining RNA, oligo d(T)-coated magnetic beads were added subsequently and hybridized beads were removed. Enrichment of microbial mRNA was verified on a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent); ensuring a substantial decline of signature peaks for small and large subunit rRNA in RNA size distribution profiles. Microbial mRNA-enriched RNA was linearly amplified using the MessageAmp II Bacteria kit (Ambion), and double-stranded cDNA was synthesized for each CP and BBD sample.

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
