  • ✓ RNA prep/ cDNA: p16 induction time course
  • ✓ ChIP/ Co-IP: KAH130-4 sample
  • ✓ Midipreps: Use QIAfilter Plasmid Midi kit (100 mL culture, used Maxi volumes to prep and ppt lysate, midi volumes to wash/ elute/ ppt DNA)
  • ✓ Culture: HEK cells failed to grow; get back-up vial from Mirra



RNA prep
> Use Qiagen QIAshredder and RNeasy kit (no BME added to lysis buffer)
> Elute with 50 μL RNase-free H2O
