Methods & Sampling

Coral spawn and adult fragments were collected in the Florida Keys in a shallow reef environment at 30 ft. by scuba. RNA was extracted following standard protocols from Ambion kits. Samples were QCed with Nanodrop and Bionalyzer instruments and cDNA libraries were built for EST sequencing.

Protocols:
Coral RNA isolation protocol (for small prep’s in 1.5mL or 2mL tubes)
Coral RNA isolation (for large prep’s in 15mL Falcon tubes)

Data Processing Description

Raw sequence data have been submitted to NCBI.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date, reference information
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- added species column and links to NCBI accessions were added to the EST accession numbers.
- split lats and lon into separate columns
- replaced spaces with underscores

Automated DNA Sequencer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Automated DNA Sequencer

Acronym: Automated Sequencer

Generic Description:

General term for a laboratory instrument used for deciphering the order of bases in a strand of DNA. Sanger sequencers detect fluorescence from different dyes that are used to identify the A, C, G, and T extension reactions. Contemporary or Pyrosequencer methods are based on detecting the activity of DNA polymerase (a DNA synthesizing enzyme) with another chemoluminescent enzyme. Essentially, the method allows sequencing of a single strand of DNA by synthesizing the complementary strand along it, one base pair at a time, and detecting which base was actually added at each step.

Thermal Cycler

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Thermal Cycler

Generic Description:

A thermal cycler or "thermocycler" is a general term for a type of laboratory apparatus, commonly used for performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR), that is capable of repeatedly altering and maintaining specific temperatures for defined periods of time. The device has a thermal block with holes where tubes with the PCR reaction mixtures can be inserted. The cycler then raises and lowers the temperature of the block in discrete, pre-programmed steps. They can also be used to facilitate other temperature-sensitive reactions, including restriction enzyme digestion or rapid diagnostics.
