I am planning to extract RNA from Drosophila melanogaster heads, which will be used for RNA sequencing to determine transcriptional changes across specific mutants. Methodologies for RNA extraction vary widely between labs. With the intention of RNA sequencing to find transcriptional up- and downregulations, what experience do you have in terms of methods/protocols/kits for RNA extraction from Drosophila melanogaster heads that have worked well for this purpose?
