	To yield high RNA, give the column an extra wash with both RW1 and RPE buffers (3 total washes with each buffer).	Include DNAse treatment for 15-20min. Ensure EtOH is completely evaporated off of the column prior to elution. Adjust time from 1min to 5 min at 60`C. Use water to elute the RNA that is warmed to ~60`C

Publication protocol

Total RNA was isolated from E. coli cells using a Qiagen RNeasy kit as described by the manufacturer. To determine the integrity of the total RNA samples, 16S and 23S rRNA were resolved by electrophoresis in a 1.2% agarose gel in 1× MOPS buffer containing formaldehyde (20 mm MOPS, 8 mm sodium acetate anhydrous, and 1 mm EDTA, pH 7.0, and 1% formaldehyde). After electrophoresis, agarose gels were stained with ethidium bromide, destained, and photographed under UV light. cDNA was synthesized from total RNA samples using a ThermoScript RT-PCR system. 2.76 μg of RNA was mixed with random hexamer primers (50 ng/μl) and four dNTPs (final concentration, 1 mm). The mixtures were incubated at 65 °C for 5 min and transferred on ice for another 5 min to remove secondary structures of RNA. The denatured RNA samples were then mixed with 1× cDNA synthesis buffer with a total volume of 20 μl containing 5 mm DTT, 40 units of RNaseOut, and 15 units of ThermoScript reverse transcriptase and incubated at 25 °C for 10 min followed by 50 °C for 50 min to synthesize cDNA. The cDNA synthesis mixtures were transferred to an 85 °C water bath for 5 min to terminate the reactions. After the synthesis step, the reaction mixtures were added with 2 units of RNase H and incubated at 37 °C for 20 min to remove the RNA templates.
