Transcription profiling of C. elegans N2 worms treated with Resveratrol

Eggs were isolated by hypochlorite treatment and allowed to hatch in the absence of food as L1 stage arrested worms in S-buffer. Worms were then transferred to large plates containing NGM alone or NGM+ resveratrol and allowed to grow till young adult stage (ca 40 hours). Worms were harvested and total RNA extracted using Trizol reagent. Poly-A+ RNA was isolated using Qiagen midi-prep kit and used for microarray hybridization.
