Improved isolation of good-quality total RNA from the optic stalk of Mud crab, Scylla paramamosain

An improved and efficient protocol was developed based on the TaKaRa RNAiso Plus Kit (Code: D9108A) for isolating good-quality total RNA from the optic stalk of mud crab, Scylla paramamosain. The protocol was based on the Trizol method with modifications. The carapace overlapping the optic stalk was...
