Screening streptavidin-conjugated magnetic beads for RNA capture efficiency. (a) Table highlighting differences between magnetic bead systems tested. All beads are streptavidin-conjugated Dynabeads (ThermoFisher Scientific; product numbers indicated). Bead diameter: large = 2.8 μm; small = 1.05 μm. (b) Northern blot analysis of GFP mRNA (target RNA) captured from total purified yeast RNA using a single complementary DNA oligonucleotide conjugated to each magnetic bead system. Percent recovery of RNA from input is indicated below
