Fragment #1607 had algae covering the top of the fragment. Pieces were broken off at the bottom and used for the following extraction protocol.

Soft and Hard homogenization, and DNA/RNA Extractions followed this protocol. General Zymo Duet RNA DNA Extraction protocol found here.

2-3 fragment pieces were clipped per coral. The following photo depicts the fragment pieces in RNA DNA shield before soft and hard homogenization steps.

Before

Pocillopora were “soft-homogenized” for 1 minute and Montipora for 2 minutes in a vortex. Both species were “hard-homogenized” for 30 seconds at 20 Hz in the Qiagen Tissue Lyser: Handbook.

Extraction notes:

  • New Proteinase K made halfway through steps, new Proteinase K used for samples #6-8.
  • Heat to lyse step start 10:30 end 12:00
  • Extraction steps start 12:02 end ~14:00

DNA Master Mix Calculations:

  • 75 μl DNA Digestion Buffer x 8 samples = 600 μl buffer
  • 5 μl DNase I x 8 samples = 40 μl DNase I enzyme

Qubit Master Mix Calculations:

  • 8 samples + 2 standards + 0.2% error = 10.2 μl Quant-IT reagent
  • 199 * 10.2 = 2,029.8 μl buffer

Testing the soft and hard homogenization protocol on extra molecular samples from the December recovery time period of the Holobiont Integration project. 2 M. capitata and 2 P. acuta fragments were randomly chosen from ATAC treatment 20181215. These four fragments were used on 20190715 and 20190716.

Soft and Hard homogenization, and DNA/RNA Extractions followed this protocol. General Zymo Duet RNA DNA Extraction protocol found here.
With the following changes:

  • No heat to lyse step to test if the heating is contributing to the RNA degradation.
  • Just 1 fragment clipping instead of 2-3 clippings to test if the RNA/DNA shield is overloaded with more than one clipping.
  • Diluted soft homogenization supernatant with 500 µl of RNA/DNA shield accidentally. Results suggest that this didn’t impact the quality, but may have diluted quantity.

** Concentration too low for TapeStation to detect. But two small peaks are still visible in both reports. TapeStation done twice because samples were out of range. Not necessary in the future since a Qubit result of equal to or less than 10 ng/µl will likely read as too low of a concentration.

Future changes for next “round” of testing this protocol:

  • Change hard homogenization in Tissue Lyser step to 1 minute instead of 30 seconds.

50 μl of 100% ethanol added to extraction #s: 79, 73, 75, 82, and 81 in final elution step accidentally. Final volume of the above 5 DNA extractions is 150 μl. Residual ethanol will prevent full hydration and elution of nucleic acids, and too much ethanol will cause the sample to not sink into a well in the DNA gel. These five samples might be too diluted to quantify DNA.

DNA/RNA Extractions from Montipora capitata and Pocillopora acuta adult coral fragments from Holobiont Integration Hawaii 2018 project.

Soft and Hard homogenization, and DNA/RNA Extractions followed this protocol. General Zymo Duet DNA/RNA Extraction protocol found here. With the following changes:

  • DNA: The first and second elutions were spun down in separate microcentrifuge tubes to compare the quantity and quality between the first and second elution. The first elution had no incubation period (previously 5 minutes) and the second elution had a 15 minute incubation period (previously 5 minutes).
  • 10 μl aliquots of DNA and 5 μl aliquots of RNA (instead of 10 μl of each).

Coral fragments were randomly chosen from different timepoint bags.

Fragment preparation start 13:20 end 13:34
Soft/Hard homogenization start 13:35 end 13:55 RNA DNA Extraction start 13:56 end 16:02
