title: RNA-Seq of adult bat vomeronasal epithleium
design: Qiagen RNeasy Micro Kit (Product ID: 74004). Vomeronasal organ tissue was placed in a glass mortar and ground with a pestle until all tissue was disrupted. Grinding with the pestle took place for ~5 minutes with enough force to create a vortex that was sufficient to homogenize the cells. We followed the protocol for the Purification of Total RNA from Animal and Human Tissues (Qiagen), with the following modifications.
