Instrument: Illumina HiSeq 2000
Strategy: RNA-Seq
Source: TRANSCRIPTOMIC
Selection: cDNA
Layout: SINGLE
Construction protocol: RNA was extracted using the RNAeasy kit (Qiagen) as per the manufacturer's instructions with the addition of 20 mg PEG8000/mL to the extraction RLC buffer solution and an on-column DNA digestion step with DNAse I (Qiagen). RNA qualityb was verified by Experion HighSens capillary gels (Bio-Rad). Four total RNA preparations were pooled and amplified using the SMARTer PCR cDNA Synthesis Kit (Clontech) according to the manufacturer's instructions. cDNA libraries were prepared for sequencing using standard Illumina protocols by Beckman Coulter Genomics (Danvers, MA, USA)
