Is there anyone who can isolate RNA from frozen EDTA blood sample or develop a method? I am open to all kits and methods on this subject.

It has been several years since I've had to do this, but I remember using the QIAamp DNA Blood Kits and it worked fine. I also had a colleague use another kit from Thermo that worked well but I don't remember the name.

What you say is correct. QIAamp DNA Blood works on frozen blood. But I need it for RNA. I always came across a warning in QIAgen kits such as "Frozen blood samples are not recommended for RNA." The Nucleospin RNA kit will arrive within 1 week. I will try that kit for my optimization work.
If this kit does not work, I will try changing a few methods or combining the steps of some protocols. By adding things like that water bath, aluminum, heat block etc.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
