total RNA
Extraction protocol
The ovaries were collected into RNAlater (Ambion) and frozen. The RNAlater was blotted and the ovaries were homogenized in 1 ml TRI reagent (MRC). Bromochloropropane and sodium acetate were added to the homogenate and the sample was centrifuged to separate the phases. The RNA-containing layer was removed and the RNA purified on an RNeasy extraction column (Qiagen). The sample was treated with an on-column DNase treatment (RNase-free DNase, Qiagen). The purity and quantity of the total RNA was evaluated with the RNA 6000 NanoLabChip in an Agilent Bioanalyzer.
