Feb. 2018 Oyster QuantSeq Libraries

Thursday, 2/22/2018
Making QuantSeq mRNA libraries for 76 tissue samples from the low pH Olympia oyster experiment in Fall 2016.
Friday, 2/23/2018
Extract RNA from 15 samples
OR3A_124C, CA3A_118M, OR3A_54C, OR4B_88C, OR3A_122C, CA2A_111C, BC3A_126 M (out of tissue), OR3A_56C, BC3A_57M, BC3A_57C, CA3A_51C, CA1A_105C, M, CA3A_52C, OR1A_99C (out of tissue)
eluted in 50uL
Saturday, 2/24/2018
Extract RNA from 16 samples. Sorted tissue sample numerically and better labelled boxes.
BC3B_C62, BC2A_C35, CA2B_C153, OR3B_C164, BC2B_C41, CA3B_166M, OR2B_37C, BC3B_171C, OR3B_163M, CA2B_45C, BC3B_170C, CA3B_166C, OR2A_28C, CA1B_13M, CA3B_168C, BC3B_170M
eluted in 75uL
Sunday, 2/25/2018
Extract rest of oly samples
eluted in 50u
Monday, 2/26/2018
Concentrate dilute samples using Zymo Clean & Concentrator -5.
Left box of new samples on bench overnight (19 hours).... will check RNA quality later.
Wednesday, 2/28/2018
Did QuantSeq protocol through Step 11, left libraries on thermocycler at 0degC overnight (15 hours).
Could not find BC102M, so did not make library. Removed from sample list.
Thursday, 3/1/2018
Ran libraries through PCR step #28.
bad/dried beads at end of Step 24 purification: 8A, E2, D4
Did a qPCR using Lexogen Add-on PCR kit for all samples with less than 400ng starting RNA and then for 9 other samples to estimate the number of PCR cycles for the 2 tissue types:
16 PCR cycles for ctenidia (unless qPCR shows otherwise)
16 PCR cycles for mantle (unless qPCR shows otherwise)
Sample OR_163M did not work in qPCR, so did not continue with that library (74 samples total now)
Accidently added 2 idexes to BC_142C, so will NOT pool that sample (73 samples total)
Lexogen has a nice tool to estimate color balance based on their indexes
Left PCR 19 (10degC) and PCR 18( 0degC) on thermocycler over night after PCR

Enough reagents for 64(?) more samples
Friday, 3/2/2018
Finished library prep- 15 samples had really low library yeilds so will try and remake those.
Finished library prep of redo samples. Pooled all samples together (70 total) and submitted to sequencing core!
Sample list with barcodes:
