Drosophila hearts from 1‐ and 5‐week‐old yw wildtype or yw x GMH5 flies (n = 30) were isolated (Fink et al., 2009), removed and homogenized in TRIzol (Invitrogen Life Sciences). Total RNA was precipitated and purified by miRNeasy mini‐column (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The recovered RNA was subjected to first and second strand cDNA synthesis, amplification, and purification using the WT‐ovation Pico RNA Amplification System (NuGEN), Agencourt RNAClean purification beads (Beckman Coulter), and DNA Clean and Concentrator‐25s columns (Zymo Research). cDNA was fragmented and labeled using the FL‐ovation cDNA Biotin Module V2 (NuGEN).

Hypochlorite-synchronized L1 stage wild type or mutant animals were grown for 36 hours post-hatching at 20°C on standard NGM plates with OP-50 E. coli. Animals were washed off the plates using isotonic M9 solution. RNA was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen) followed by miRNeasy mini column (Qiagen). cDNA was generated from 1-2 mg of total RNA using random hexamers and Maxima Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Quantitative PCR was performed on the ViiA 7 Real-Time PCR System (Life Technologies) using the QuantiFast SYBR Green PCR Kit (Qiagen). Thermocycling was done for 40 cycles in a two-step cycling in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and each PCR reaction was performed in triplicate. Changes in mRNA expression were quantified using act-3 mRNA as a reference.

CRISPR-Seq Profiling in K562 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
K562s expressing dCas9-BFP-KRAB were spinfected in biological duplicate with lentivirus expressing GFP and an sgRNA. Two days after spinfection, the cells were sorted for GFP+ on a BD ARIA II. Sort purity was generally >95%. After the sort, cells were maintained in media supplemented with 4 ug/ml puromycin for four days and then recovered for two days. Cells were counted, collected by centrifugation, and harvested by vigorous vortexing in Qiazol (Qiagen 79306).
Total RNA was extracted with miRNeasy Mini columns (Qiagen 217004) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and sequencing libraries were prepared with TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Human/Mouse/Rat kits (Illumina 20020596) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Libraries were sequenced 2x150 on a NovaSeq (Illumina).
Bulk RNA-seq data were aligned and quantified using STAR (version 2.7.9a) with parameters alignEndsType=Local and outFilter-MultimapNmax=20. For comparison of gene-level expression profiles, gene counts were corrected for sequencing depth (reads per million), and the log2 fold-change for each gene was calculated relative to within-replicate non-targeting control expression. The two replicates for each genetic perturbation were averaged in order to produce the final data.

RNA was extracted from the tissues denoted using a liquid nitrogen cooled mortar and pestle. Ground, frozen tissue was transferred to Qiazol lysis reagent (Qiagen; Valencia, CA, United States) and further homogenized using QIAshredders (Qiagen; Valencia, CA, United States). RNA was then isolated using the miRNeasy mini columns as described by the manufacturers’ protocol (Qiagen; Valencia, CA, United States). Following elution from the miRNeasy column, RNA was treated with RNase-free DNase (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, United States) for 25 min at room temperature, ethanol precipitated and resuspended in nuclease-free water supplemented with 1.25% RNaseOUT (Life Technologies; Carlsbad, CA, United States).

About PubCompare

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.
