RNA integrity numbers (RIN) differ between extraction and dissection rounds. (A) No difference in average RIN was identified between samples from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the hippocampus (HPC). (B) Significant effects of tissue dissection round were identified between round 1 and round 3 in both tissues. Dissection round 2 contained a single sample in both tissues and was not included in statistical analysis. (C) Significant effects of RNA extraction round were also observed in both tissues. ^⁎Denotes statistical significance below p<0.00001 by Welch׳s t-test.
