🧬 Historic Attic RNA Discovery Lab: Episteme Labs - RNA Integrity, Reverse Transcription, qPCR Fold Change, Gel Sizing and Gene Expression

Run a fictional RNA discovery lab in a timber-framed attic: protect RNA from RNases (integrity decays with temperature and contamination), pipette a reverse-transcription mix with realistic error, tune a qPCR annealing temperature from standard curves, report the treated/control fold change from Ct values, size fragments on an agarose gel against a ladder and watch a polymerase transcribe a template on a DNA sculpture while mRNA and protein levels follow a two-stage kinetic model.
