About this file

This document is a Specifications and Requirements document for Sequencing Services focused on Stressors in Honeybee Colonies. The service involves processing 357 total RNA samples from honey bees, with sequencing specifications including Illumina 2x150bp configuration, ~20 million reads per sample, and a quality guarantee of ≥85% of bases at ≥Q30. The comprehensive service covers sample QC, library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis, with deliverables including quality reports, FASTQ files, data QC, trimming, mapping, differential gene expression, alternative splicing, and gene ontology analysis.

Sample requirements specify total RNA must be submitted in nuclease-free water on dry ice, with a requested submission of ≥500 ng in ≥25µl at a concentration of ≥20 ng/µl. Samples must meet quality standards including RIN >6.0, A260/A280 ratio of 1.8-2.2, and be DNA-free. For projects with 16 or more samples, samples should be prepared in 96-well full-skirted PCR v-bottom plates, with delivery scheduled 45 days after receipt of order. The service is designated for research use only, with additional benefits including updates at completed project milestones.

Additional Benefits Updates at completed project milestones (Extraction, QC, Library Preparation, Sequencing, and Data Analysis, if applicable)

357 total RNA samples (not derived from blood) meeting requirements below.

II. Sample Requirements

Sample Type Remarks Quantity and Concentration Quality

Total RNA (in nuclease-free water), on dry ice

Requested Submission

≥500 ng in ≥25µl Concentration: ≥20 ng/µl RIN >6.0, A260/A280=1.8-2.2, DNA-free

Absolute Minimum Submission

≥150 ng in ≥25µl Concentration: ≥6 ng/µL

Tubes: Prepare samples in clearly labeled and well-organized 1.5 mL flip-cap microcentrifuge tubes.

Please avoid using Parafilm to seal the tubes.

Plates: For projects with 16 or more samples, prepare samples in clearly labeled, securely sealed 96-well full-skirted PCR v-bottom plates. Arrange the samples vertically by column (i.e. A1, B1, C1, etc.)

Delivery: 45 days after receipt of order (ARO)
