Developing Remote Human Milk Collection as a Novel Technique for Transcriptome Sequencing

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 50

Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

Summary

This study will develop a protocol for remote human milk collection for use in gene expression research through application of ribonucleic acid (RNA) preservation reagents. The investigators hypothesize that addition of preservation reagents will preserve RNA in human milk, facilitating downstream analyses that require intact RNA. 50 lactating participants will be recruited and requested to provide reagent-mixed samples to be sent to the university through shipping services where they will be evaluated for RNA quantity, quality and profile.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * English speaking and reading * Lactating for greater than or equal to 4 weeks Exclusion Criteria: * not meeting personal lactation goals * resides outside of Wisconsin
