RNA extraction

[Julia Gockel]

Hi all,

we are planning on extracting total RNA from wild-caught flies that, by
then, will have been stored in liquid nitrogen for 1 month. 

Is there any danger of degradation over this period of time? 
Does anyone have experience with other storage techniques?

Cheers,


Julia
