Instrument: Illumina HiSeq 2500
Strategy: RNA-Seq
Source: TRANSCRIPTOMIC
Selection: cDNA
Layout: SINGLE
Construction protocol: Total RNA was extracted from 0.5 mL whole blood using the Ambion Mouse RiboPure Blood extraction kit, followed by globin removal using the Ambion GlobinClear Mouse kit (Life Technologies, Inc). RNA was quantified on the Agilent bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, USA). Each sample was uniquely tagged with custom index sequences developed at UCLA (Faircloth et al., 2014) comparable to Illumina TruSeq tags. Individual sample libraries were then pooled in equimolar ratios, with 13 or 14 samples per pool and each pool sequenced on two lanes of an Illumina HiSeq 2500 or HiSeq 4000 sequencer
