“…Therefore, before conducting RNA isolation, users must be clear about its end use(s). Here, we list a few published examples of different downstream applications of RNA isolated by the CiAR method: (1) RT‐qPCR (Oñate‐Sánchez & Vicente‐Carbajosa, 2008; Verdonk and Sullivan, 2013; Ambreetha, Chinnadurai, Marimuthu, & Balachandar, 2018; Arruabarrena et al., 2016; de Vries et al., 2020; Krithika et al., 2016; Lortzing et al., 2017; Mbaluto, Ahmad, Fu, Martínez‐Medina, & van Dam, 2020; Priyanka et al., 2019; Sõmera et al., 2019; Touw et al., 2020; Wang, Severing, Koornneef, & Aarts, 2020), (2) RT‐PCR (Kirkin et al., 2018; Nummert, Sõmera, Uffert, Abner, & Truve, 2017), (3) RACE‐PCR (Zhou, Wilkens, Hanelt, & von Schwartzenberg, 2020), (4) direct PCR for detection of DNA virus (Arruabarrena et al., 2016), (5) DNA barcoding and preparation of RNA‐based libraries (Sõmera et al., 2019), and (6) cDNA labeling and microarray hybridization (Lortzing et al., 2017).…”
