S. cerevisiae USY006 was grown in YPD liquid or plates at 30°C. RNA was isolated using the standard hot phenol method (Rissland and Norbury 2009 (link)). Synchronized populations of L1 C. elegans were grown on NGM plates for 60 h until adult staged. Worms were washed off of plates with PBS buffer and resuspended in ultrapure water. RNA was extracted using TRI reagent (Molecular Research Center), according to manufacturer's instructions.

HEK-293FT and HeLa cells were grown in DMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 2 mM Glutamine, 10,000 units/mL Penicillin/Streptomycin, and 10 % FBS at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cultures were passaged every 5–6 days by adding TrypLE (Gibco) and re-plating at 1:10 ratio.
Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells were maintained in Express Five SFM media (Gibco) at room temperature in the dark and passaged once a week.
Sptlc2tm2.1Jia (Li et al., 2009 (link)), Prox1CreERT2 (Bazigou et al., 2011 (link)) and Cdh5CreERT2 (Wang et al., 2010 (link)) mice were obtained from the Cancer Research Consortium (UK) under an MTA. Nr2f2f/f mice were re-derived from frozen sperm (B6;129S7-Nr2f2tm2Tsa/Mmmh) received from the Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMRRC) at the University of Missouri. Mice were maintained in the Yale Animal Resources TAC facility and used under the approved IACUC protocols.
H9 human embryonic stem cells (WA09, NIH approval number NIHhESC-10–0062) were grown in feeder-free conditions in plates coated with Matrigel (BD Biosciences) in E8 media (Thermo Fisher) or mTeSR1 media (Stem Cell Technologies) at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cultures were passaged every 4 days by adding 1mg/mL Dispase (Stem Cell Technologies) for 5 minutes at 37°C and re-plating at a 1:10 ratio.

VSVΔG-eGFP is a recombinant VSV which was derived from a full-length cDNA clone of the VSV genome (Indiana serotype) in which the coding region of the G protein was replaced by a modified version of the GFP gene and pseudotyped with the VSV G protein [34 (link),46 (link),47 (link)]. VSVΔG-eGFP is propagated on HEK-293T cells that have been previously transfected with pCAGGS-VSV G.

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.
