Leaf samples were collected from the 275 RILs in the F7 generation. Leaf tissues were used to extract total genomic DNA using the CTAB method. The quantity and quality of genomic DNA was determined by NanoDrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer and 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, USA).
For 275 RILs, the genomic DNA was incubated with ATP (NEB), T4 DNA ligase (NEB), MseI (New England Biolabs, NEB), and MseI Y adapter N containing barcode at 37°C. Temperature at 65°C was used to inactivate restriction ligation reactions and digested at 37°C by the additional restriction enzyme (NlaIII). Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman) was utilized to purify samples of the restriction ligation. Finally PCR was done with these purified samples, universal primers of Phusion Master Mix (NEB), index primers to add index, as well as entire i5 and i7 sequences. Purification of products of PCR was carried out by Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman) then pooled and run on an agarose gel (2%). Gel extraction kit (Qiagen) was utilized to separate fragments of 375-400 bp (with indexes and adaptors) in size. The fragment products were subsequently purified by using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman) and diluted to further sequencing. After that paired-end sequencing was done on the selected tags with Illumina HiSeq PE150 platform (Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd, P.R. China).

The GBS library was constructed according to standard GBS protocol [28 (link), 29 (link)]. DNA of each individual of the F2 population and parents was prepared by restriction digestion with MseI and HaeIII, followed by ligation with barcoded adapters for individual labeling. The restriction ligation samples with different barcode sequences were purified with Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman). PCR was then performed using purified samples with Phusion Master Mix (NEB) universal primer and index primers for amplification of the complete i5 and i7 sequences. The PCR products were purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman) and pooled, and then run on a 2% agarose gel. Fragments of 375–400 bp (including indexes and adaptors) were isolated using a gel extraction kit (Qiagen). These fragment products were then purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman), and used for pair-end sequencing with the Illumina HiSeq™ 2500 platform.

Restriction enzyme selection for the GBS was performed by predicting fragment sizes that would result from various enzyme combinations, according to the previously described ZZ1 genome, and eventually, the combination of MseI and EcorI was selected for constructing the GBS libraries. GBS libraries were constructed for each line by incubating 0.1–1 μg genomic DNA at 37 °C with MseI (New England Biolabs, i.e., NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA), T4 DNA ligase (NEB), ATP (NEB), and MseI Y adapter N, which contained barcodes, and then heat-inactivating the reaction mixtures at 65 °C. EcoRI (NEB) was then added to the MseI digests and incubated at 37 °C. Thereafter, the fragments of each sample were purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman) and subject to PCR amplification using Phusion Master Mix (NEB), universal primer, and index primer. The resulting PCR products of each sample were purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman), pooled, and visualized on a 2% agarose gel, and fragments of 400–450 bp (including indexes and adaptors) were excised from the gel and purified using a gel extraction kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA). The purified fragments were cleaned further using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman) prior to sequencing. Finally, paired-end sequencing was performed on the selected tags by Novogene Bioinformatics Institute (Beijing, China) using an Illumina 2500 platform (Illumina, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We sequenced the liver tissue transcriptomes to access a large number of diverse transcripts because the liver is a highly complex organ with a complex transcriptome (Shackel et al. 2002 (link), 2006 (link)). Total RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies Corp., Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer’s protocols, and cleaned up using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). RNA samples were quantified with the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). mRNA was enriched using beads with oligo (dT) and fragmented using fragmentation buffer. The first cDNA chain was synthesized using random hexamers, and the second chain was synthesized with buffer, dNTPs, RNase H, and DNA polymerase I. After the cDNA was purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter Inc., Atlanta, GA), the samples were blunt-end repaired and ligated with poly(A) and adapter sequences. Then, sizes were selected using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter Inc., Atlanta, GA). Each of the libraries was amplified by PCR. The libraries were quantified by RT-PCR, and transcriptome sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSequation 2500 platform. Short sequence reads of paired end (PE) 100 bp were generated. All of the data were deposited into the NCBI Sequence Read Archive database (SRA run accession numbers are provided in Table S1).

For cDNA synthesis, we used a custom oligo-dT primer with a barcode and adaptor-linker sequence (CCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT-xrefXX-T15). After first-strand synthesis, samples were pooled together based on Actb qPCR values and RNA-DNA hybrids were degraded with consecutive acid-alkali treatment. Subsequently, a second sequencing linker (AGATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTG) was ligated with T4 ligase (NEB) followed by clean up with solid phase reverse immobilization (SPRI)-beads (Agencourt AMPure XP, BeckmanCoulter). The mixture was enriched by PCR for 12 cycles and purified with SPRI-beads (Agencourt AMPure XP, BeckmanCoulter) to yield final strand-specific RNA sequencing libraries. Libraries were sequenced on the HiSeq 2500 platform (Illumina) using 50 bp x 25 bp paired-end sequencing. Second read (read-mate) was used for sample demultiplexing. Reads were aligned to the GRCm38.p2 assembly of the mouse genome using STAR aligner43 (link). Aligned reads were quantified using quant3p script (https://github.com/ctlab/quant3p). GENCODE genome annotation was used and DESeq244 (link) was used for differential gene expression analysis. Pre-ranked gene set enrichment analysis was done using fgsea R package45 (link). Genes were ranked according to Wald-statistics from DESeq2 analysis, only top 10000 genes ordered by mean expression were considered. MSigDB C2 gene set collection was used.

The purified PCR fragments were 5’ phosphorylated and ligated to the adaptor needed for emulsion PCR using the Ion Torrent system (Life Technologies). The AMPure-purified ligation products were nick translated at 72°C for 1 min and amplified using 10 cycles of PCR (98°C for 15 s, 60°C for 4 min). The amplified library products were purified using magnetic bead purification (Agencourt AMPure XP, Beckman Coulter) and quantified using a Bioanalyzer and High Sensitivity DNA chip (Agilent Technologies). Approximately 44 million copies of library DNA were used for emulsion PCR on the Ion One Touch Instrument (Life Technologies), and 50% of enriched products were loaded onto Ion 316 chips for sequencing on the Ion PGM system (Life Technologies).

GBS sequencing was conducted according to the method of Elshire et al., 2011 [29 (link)], with minor improvements. Briefly, the gDNA from 154 grasspea plants (2 parents and 152 F2 progeny) was first digested by MseI (5’-T!TAA-3’) (New England Biolabs, ‘NEB’, Ipswich, MA, USA) at 37 °C, then subjected to restriction-ligation by T4 DNA ligase (NEB) and ATP (NEB) with a MseI Y-adapter N-containing barcode at 65 °C, followed by a second digestion with HaeIII (5’-GG!CC-3’) (NEB) at 37 °C. The digested fragments were purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter, ‘Beckman’, Brea, CA, USA) and used for PCR amplification, utilizing Phusion Master Mix (NEB) to add universal and index primers, as well as i5 and i7 index sequences, to the digested fragments. The purified PCR fragments (425–490 bp including indexes and adaptors) were screened and extracted using a 2% agarose gel with the Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA).
