[Yeast] Re: RNA extractions

[Samantha Herbst]

Hi,

While I've not done RNA extraction from cells directly off a plate, I have found that hot phenol combined with bead beating or phenol/chloroform extraction tend to give higher yields than the one kit I've tried (from Promega).

Sincerely,

Samantha Herbst
