Troubleshooting Guide for RNA Extraction

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Low RNA yield Insufficient starting sample Collect RNA from at least 1,000 L4s or adults per sample for optimal yields. Adults yield more RNA compared to L4s
Incomplete resolubilization of RNA pellet After obtaining RNA pellet, perform 10 m incubation at a higher temperature (i.e. ~50ºC) and store at −80ºC overnight to promote resolubilization
