Sequencing of all RNA species by next generation sequencing of wildtype and GCNAKO Drosophila ovaries
Purpose: To identify significantly different individual mRNA species or genetic pathways in the GCNAKO mutant  sample when compared to the wildtype sample.  GCNA is encoded by CG14814 (Flybase ID: FBgn0023515). Method: Total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen miRNEasy kit, followed by on column DNAse digest using the Qiagen DNAse digest kit. We used the miRNEasy kit to ensure collection of small RNA species as well as total RNA. RNA was collected from three independent bological replicates of freshly dissected Drosophila ovaries ( 100 ovaries per replicate), collected from 1-3 day old female Drosophila. Ovaries were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen after dissection to preserve the RNA species and prevent degradation. RNAse free conditions were maintained throughout the extraction protocol. RNA quality was tested by the sequencing core before sequencing the RNA. Overall design: Whole trasncriptome or total RNA profiles were generated of 1-3 day old Drosophila ovaries by next generation sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 .
