Lab-specific Protocols
RNAi in Phalangium opilio (PDF)
This protocol covers techniques for dsRNA-mediated gene silencing in embryos of Phalangium opilio. Brief notes on embryo collection and cultivation are included.
Scorpion maintenance and dissection (PDF)
This protocol covers techniques and safety precautions for keeping scorpions in the laboratory, as well as dissection for embryo collection.
