The beetle book

In the Tribolium beetle-book I have compiled some information on how to keep Tribolium and included several protocols (RNAi & stainings).

Feel free to contact me if you need further information.

parental RNAi - pupal injection

Injecting Tribolium pupae is easy - please find details on the procedure in this injection protocol. The following film shows the injection of a pupa (after some trials you will perform much better than shown in the film).
