Figure 1 in A NOTE ON SAMPLING CHIRONOMIDS FOR RNA-BASED STUDIES OF NATURAL POPULATIONS THAT RETAINS CRITICAL MORPHOLOGICAL VOUCHERS Abstract

Figure 1. Exemplar RNA extraction QA/QC assessments from the 42 extractions conducted. a) ten extractions analysed using 2% w/v agarose gel electrophoresis: lane 1 contains 1 µL Hyperladder IV (Bioline), lane 2 was intentionally blank, samples are from lanes 3-12; b) exemplar Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer plot of fragment lengths (x axis) against fluorescence units (y axis). The software automatically attempts to identify the 18S and 28S peaks (labelled below the peak trace in smaller font on an angle) to calculate a RIN.
