    stabilize the RNA expression profile upon harvesting samples

    Hi all. I am designing an experiment for RNAseq. I start treating my cells with a compound (or DMSO in the control) and collect samples at different timepoints. My question is: when I harvest the cells centrifuging for 10 minutes I am pretty sure the expression is going to slightly change and I would like to avoid that. I have read about using RNAprotect adding it directly to the culture but I have a feeling this reagent will just inhibit RNases to increase RNA stabilisation but it won't really "freeze" the expression profile at that particular timepoint. Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance

      Your best bet is probably to add trizol or similar directly to the plates and scrape the cells off, then extract RNA. Other than that, try to keep things cold.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating          ...

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing          ...
