Does anyone have experience with ribosome profiling in Drosophila?

06 February 2013 0 10K Report

On the procedure side, how difficult would it be to produce enough mRNA? From how many cells and how long would it take to go through the whole procedure?

How about analysis? How would you analyze and compare a few developmental time points?

Protocols anyone?
