Hi, I want to check the OBP's gene regulation pattern in B. dorsalis after feed them protein bait but due to unavailability of liquid nitrogen I have to wait for liquid nitrogen. I have feed protein bait during specific day-age of fruit fly now, I am not sure can I save these fruit flies or should i have to again rear fruit flies and again feed them protein bait at this day age. If I can preserve fruit flies then please tell me the procedure how can I preserve them for RNA extraction in order to do RT-PCR. I need valuable suggestion if any one have experienced before such kind of situation. Thanks in advance for valuable guidelines.
