· Decontamination and Inhibition of Ribonucleases (Eppendorf)
RNA is more susceptible to degradation than DNA. Unlike Deoxyribonucleases (DNases), which require metal ions for activity (and can therefore easily be inactivated with chelating agents such as EDTA), ribonucleases (RNases) have virtually no cofactor requirements and advantage of the 2’ hydroxyl groups adjacent to the phosphodiester linkages in RNA as a reactive species.

Large scale total cellular RNA isolation using 4M guanidinium isothiocyanate lysis buffer and caesium chloride ultracentrifugation from adult organs.
· Total RNA Isolation-the Lithium Chloride-SDS-Urea Method (Faulkner-Jones)
This method can be used for some adult tissues, most cell lines and embryos. Harvested tissues are homogenised in urea-lithium and the relatively insoluble lithium-RNA salts are precipitated overnight at 4oC. Much of the DNA remains in solution. The recovered lithium-RNA is acid phenol-chloroform extracted to remove contaminating proteins...

· Poly A+ RNA Preparation Using TRIzol Reagent(PMCI Research)
· Isolation of poly A+ RNA from Total RNA by Oligo (deoxythymidine ) cellulose Chromatography (Faulkner-Jones)
Total RNA is first isolated from the tissues or cells and then mRNA is isolated by PolyA+ selection using oligo(dT) cellulose. This is necessary for sll tissue sources rich in RNase (and some cell lines).
· Direct Isolation of Poly A+ RNA(Faulkner-Jones)
This method can be used to isolate mRNA directly from cultured cells by adding the oligo (dT) cellulose to proteinase K-digested crude cell lysate. Some whole tissues can be lysed directly in the proteinase K solution, whilst others, notably pancreas, need prior extraction of total RNA using guanidinium or lithium-urea. The total RNA can then be PolyA+ selected using oligo(dT) cellulose.

· RNA Conversions (Ambion)
When isolating RNA, it helps to have a rough idea of how much total or poly(A) RNA can be recovered from a given amount of tissue or cells.These numbers provide a guideline against which experimental procedures and results can be checked.
Recovery of RNA fragments from Polyacrylamide gels (Beverly Faulkner-Jones)
The best method is the crush and soak method. It can be sued to isolate single-stranded RNA from denaturing gels. The RNA is of high purity but the method is long and inefficient if long transcripts are to be recovered (cf. less than 30% of DNA greater than 3 kb is recovered).
· How to Prepare Molecular Biology grade glycogen (Contributed by Roberto Salvi)
Glycogen can conveniently substitute for tRNA as a carrier for nucleic acid precipitation. Although Molecular Biology grade glycogen can be purchased from a number of vendors, the main disadvantage is that it is very expensive (e.g., About 100 dollars/20-40 mg). Here we present a simple and inexpensive protocol to prepare a large amount of glycogen which is suitable for any kind of Molecular Biology application (we routinely use it for RNA work).
