Instrument: Illumina HiSeq 2000
Strategy: RNA-Seq
Source: TRANSCRIPTOMIC
Selection: cDNA
Layout: PAIRED
Construction protocol: RNA was extracted using RNA zol Bee reagent (Tel Test Inc) Illumina RNA-Seq library preparation The complementary DNA (cDNA) libraries from total RNA samples were prepared by an Illumina TruSeq RNA sample prep kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Three micrograms of total RNA were used as the RNA input according to recommendations of the manufacturer's protocol. The mRNAs were selected from the total RNAs by purifying the poly-A containing molecules using poly-T primers. The RNA fragmentation, first and second strand cDNA syntheses, end repair, adaptor ligation, and PCR amplification were performed according to the manufacturer's protocol. The average size of the cDNA libraries was approximately 160 bp (excluding the adapters). The cDNA libraries were validated for RNA integrity and quantity using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies Inc.) before sequencing.
