INTRODUCTION
This protocol describes rapid, small-scale yeast RNA isolation. It is based on the work of Schmitt et al. (1990). Note that all containers should be washed in RNase Away (Invitrogen) or dry baked for 24 hours at 160°C. All aqueous reagents should be made with 1:1000 volume of DEPC before autoclaving, to inactivate RNases.
