We compared different fixatives for long-term preservatuon of marine microbial communities in seawater, and how these impact subsequent amplicon sequencing.
Absorbance at 260 and 280 nm, RIN and 28S/18S ratio were assessed for each RNA sample isolated from frozen SCAT, VAT, muscle, and liver. Mean ± SD, median, and ranges for each type of RNA are shown. T
The Europa Clipper spacecraft’s suite of instruments will be investigating if Jupiter’s moon Europa could harbor conditions suitable for life. Several of these instruments are very sensitive to molecu
