Manchala Nageswar Reddy

RNA yield depends on the storage &the time of collection of the serum. RNA yield will be good from freshly collected serum. The yield varies from sample to sample and also the individual.

all the best

Thanks very much Andrei. My yields are right in the same ballpark as those in the Nature Methods paper.
