High-quality RNA preparation for cDNA library construction of the Antarctic sea–ice alga Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L

Abstract To study the molecular mechanism of the Antarctic sea–ice alga in adaptation to polar sea–ice environments, the RNA was prepared for cDNA library construction of Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L. Three different methods were tested to prepare total RNA from this psychrophilic, unicellular green alga rich in protein and polysaccharide. Lauryl sodium sulfate- based method allowed a most effective extraction of high-quality total RNA compared to the other methods. Total RNA extracted with this protocol was used for cDNA library construction. The recombination rate of constructed cDNA library was 98.60%, the primary titer was 7.15 × $ 10^{6} $ pfu, and an average sequence length was 1.2 kb. These results show that with a high-quality RNA preparation, a cDNA library can be constructed successfully for Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L..
