I am currently in the process of extracting RNA from Spirorbid worms. I am going to use a standard trizol extraction and I have thought of purchasing some RNA micro kits to give those a trial as well. Has anyone extracted RNA from this spp. previously and has any suggestions?

Dear Leyre. Sadly I can not help, but I am very interested to know if you succeed with this. There are many spirorbid worms in deep sea animals I have caught recently so I will be following your question and news. Best luck
