Abstract

Mammalian Tissue Total RNA Purification Protocol by GeneJET RNA Purification Kit (Thermo Scientific, USA) Before starting: • Supplement the required amount of Lysis Buffer with β-mercaptoethanol or DTT. Add 20 μL of 14.3 M β-mercaptoethanol or 2 M DTT to each 1 mL volume of Lysis Buffer required. • Prepare the required amount of Proteinase K solution: dilute 10 μL of Proteinase K to 590 μL of TE buffer (10 mM Tris HCl, pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA). Step Procedure Step 1. Weigh the tissue (use up to 30 mg of fresh or frozen tissue) Disruption using a mortar and pestle: Place up to 30 mg of tissue into liquid nitrogen and grind thoroughly with a mortar and pestle. Transfer the tissue powder immediately into a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube containing 300 μL of Lysis Buffer supplemented with β-mercaptoethanol. Vortex for 10 s to mix thoroughly. Step 2. Add 600 μl of diluted Proteinase K (10 μL of the included Proteinase K diluted in 590 μL of TE buffer). Vortex to mix thoroughly and incubate at 25°C for 10 min. Step 3. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm/ 10 min/ 4⁰C. Transfer the supernatant into a new RNase-free microcentrifuge tube Step 4. Add 450 μL of ethanol (96-100%) and mix by pipetting. Step 5. Transfer up to 700 μL of lysate to the GeneJET RNA Purification Column inserted in a collection tube. Centrifuge the column at 12000 rpm/ 1 min/ 4⁰C. Discard the flowthrough and place the purification column back into the collection tube. Repeat this step until all of the lysate has been transferred into the column and centrifuged. Discard the collection tube containing the flow-through solution. Place the GeneJET RNA Purification Column into a new 2 mL collection tube. Step 6. Add 700 μL of Wash Buffer 1 (supplemented with ethanol) to the GeneJET RNA Purification Column and centrifuge at 12000 rpm/ 1 min/ 4⁰C. Discard the flow-through and place the purification column back into the collection tube. Step 7. Add 600 μL of Wash Buffer 2 (supplemented with ethanol) to the GeneJET RNA Purification Column and centrifuge at 12000 rpm/ 1 min/ 4⁰C. Discard the flowthrough and place the purification column back into the collection tube. Step 8. Add 250 μL of Wash Buffer 2 to the GeneJET RNA Purification Column and centrifuge at 12000 rpm/ 2 min/ 4⁰C Discard the collection tube containing the flow-through solution and transfer the GeneJET RNA Purification Column to a sterile 1.5 mL RNase-free microcentrifuge tube. Step 9. Add 40 μL of Water, nuclease-free to the center of the GeneJET RNA Purification Column membrane. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm/ 1 min/ 4⁰C to elute RNA. Step 10. Discard the purification column. Use the purified RNA for downstream applications or store RNA at -40°C until use. First Strand cDNA Synthesis by RevertAid First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) After thawing, mix and briefly centrifuge the components of the kit. Store on ice. Step 1.Add the following reagents into a sterile, nuclease-free tube on ice in the indicated order: - Template RNA: 1μg total RNA - Primer: 15 pmol specific primer - Water, nuclease-free to 12 μL Step 2.Add the following components in the indicated order: - 5X Reaction Buffer: 4 μL - RiboLock RNase Inhibitor (20 U/μL): 1 μL - 10 mM dNTP Mix: 2 μL - RevertAid M-MuLV RT (200 U/μL): 1 μL Total volume: 20 μL Step 3.Mix gently and centrifuge briefly. Step 4. Incubate for 60 min at 42°C. Step 5.Terminate the reaction by heating at 70°C for 5 min. The reverse transcription reaction product can be directly used in PCR applications or stored at -20°C for less than one week. For longer storage, -70°C is recommended. PCR products purification by GeneJET Gel Extraction kit (Thermo Scientific, USA) Step 1. Excise gel slice containing the DNA fragment using a clean scalpel or razor blade. Cut as close to the DNA as possible to minimize the gel volume. Place the gel slice into a pre-weighed 1.5 mL tube and weigh. Record the weight of the gel slice. Step 2. Add 1:1 volume of Binding Buffer to the gel slice (volume: weight). Step 3. Incubate the gel mixture at 60°C for 10 min or until the gel slice is completely dissolved. Mix the tube by inversion every few minutes to facilitate the melting process. Ensure that the gel is completely dissolved. Vortex the gel mixture briefly before loading on the column. Check the color of the solution. A yellow color indicates an optimal pH for DNA binding. If the color of the solution is orange or violet, add 10 μL of 3 M sodium acetate, pH 5.2 solution and mix. The color of the mix will become yellow. Step 4.For ≤500 bp. Add 1 gel volume of 100% isopropanol to the solubilized gel solution. Mix thoroughly. Step 5. Transfer up to 800 μL of the solubilized gel solution (from step 3 or 4) to the GeneJET purification column. Centrifuge for 1 min. Discard the flow-through and place the column back into the same collection tube. Step 6. Add 100 μL of Binding Buffer to the GeneJET purification column. Centrifuge for 1 min. Discard the flow-through and place the column back into the same collection tube. Step 7. Add 700 μL of Wash Buffer (diluted with ethanol) to the GeneJET purification column. Centrifuge for 1 min. Discard the flow-through and place the column back into the same collection tube. Step 8. Centrifuge the empty GeneJET purification column for an additional 1 min to completely remove residual wash buffer. Step 9. Transfer the GeneJET purification column into a clean 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube. Add 50 μL of Elution Buffer to the center of the purification column membrane. Centrifuge for 1 min. Step 10. Discard the GeneJET purification column and store the purified DNA at -20 °C. Cloning with pGEM T-easy vector(Promega, USA) 1.

Đánh giá hiệu quả sử dụng thiết bị giám sát hành trình trên tàu khai thác thủy sản tỉnh Kiên Giang

“…Ngày 23/10/2017, Uỷ ban Châu Âu (EC) chính thức cảnh báo "Thẻ vàng" đối với nghề cá Việt Nam vì các hoạt động khai thác bất hợp pháp, không báo cáo và không theo quy định (IUU) của tàu cá địa phương ven biển nói chung và tỉnh Kiên Giang nói riêng. Điều này ảnh hưởng lớn đến xuất khẩu thuỷ sản (Chi cục Thủy sản Kiên Giang, 2021b; Phuong & Pomeroy, 2022). Một trong những khuyến nghị quan trọng nhất của EC nhằm chống khai thác IUU để gỡ "Thẻ vàng" là triển khai lắp đặt thiết bị giám sát hành trình (VMS) giúp theo dõi, kiểm tra, giám sát và quản lý tàu cá hoạt động trên biển (VASEP, 2018;Phuong & Pomeroy, 2022).…”

“…Kiên Giang triển khai lắp đặt thiết bị VMS cho tàu cá địa phương đến năm 2021 đạt 91,3% tổng tàu thuyền cần phải trang bị theo quy định (Chi cục Thủy sản Kiên Giang, 2021b). Tỷ lệ này thấp hơn so với tình hình trang bị VMS cho đội tàu tỉnh Quảng Bình, 96,6% (Quang, 2021); nhưng cao hơn so với tỉnh Khánh Hòa, 86% (Bình, 2021) và tỷ lệ trung bình chung trang bị VMS của tàu thuyền cả nước (Phuong & Pomeroy, 2022).…”
