Goal

Processing DNA/RNA extractions for Porites astreoides LARVAE: Batch #5

• Re-extracting sample replicates that had poor DNA or RNA quality from previous extractions

Samples

Today I am using 9 larval P. astreoides samples that were snap frozen in the field.

Vial	Sample Type	Coral ID
L-502	Larvae	P-3-A
L-571	Larvae	R-11-A
L-704	Larvae	P-15-A
L-843	Larvae	P-19-B
L-859	Larvae	P-16-A
L-933	Larvae	P-10-A
L-1081	Larvae	R-14-B
L-1260	Larvae	P-6-B
L-1266	Larvae	P-15-B
