RNA-seq libraries were constructed as previously described46 . Briefly, seven days after transduction, cells were harvested and mRNA was purified from total RNA using oligo(dT) Dynabeads (Invitrogen). First-strand cDNA was synthesized using the SuperScript VILO cDNA Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen) and second-strand cDNA was synthesized using DNA polymerase I (New England Biolabs). cDNA was purified using Agencourt AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Purified cDNA was treated with Nextera transposase (Illumina) for 5 min at 55 °C to simultaneously fragment and insert sequencing primers into the double-stranded cDNA. Transposase activity was halted using QG buffer (Qiagen) and fragmented cDNA was purified on AMPure XP beads. Indexed sequencing libraries were PCR-amplified and sequenced for 50-bp paired-end reads on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 instrument at the Duke Genome Sequencing Shared Resource and for 75 paired-end reads on an Illumina MiSeq. Reads were trimmed to 50 bp and aligned to the delivered lentiviral vector were removed from analysis using Bowtie247 . Filtered reads were then aligned to human RefSeq transcripts using Bowtie2. Statistical analysis, including multiple hypothesis testing, on three independent biological replicates was performed using DESeq48 .

The cDNA library was constructed using the NEBNext® UltraTM RNA kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, 45 μg of total RNA from each sample was prepared at a concentration of approximately 1,500 ng·μL−1. Poly (A) mRNAs were enriched using oligo (dT) beads and interrupted into short fragments with fragmentation buffer. First-strand cDNA was synthesized using hexamer primers and reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). The second-strand cDNA was then synthesized using buffer, dNTPs, RNaseH (Invitrogen), and DNA polymerase I (New England BioLabs).
For the construction of the two paired-end libraries, the double-stranded fragments were then purified using a QiaQuick PCR extraction kit and resolved with EB buffer to finish the end reparation, and were connected using sequencing adaptors. The successfully connected fragments were then subjected to sequencing using the Illumina HiSeqTM 2500 sequencing platform. The raw reads were initially processed by removing adaptor sequences and low quality reads using an in-house Perl software, where the average proportion of clean reads in each sample was approximately 91.5%. the low quality reads here refers to reads whose ratios of unknown bases are higher than 5%, or ratios of low quality bases (base quality≤10) are higher than 20%.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Illumina sequencing, the poly(A) mRNA was fragmented into small pieces. First-strand cDNA synthesis was conducted using random hexamer primers and reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen, Shanghai, China). Second-strand cDNA was synthesized using RNase H (Invitrogen) together with DNA polymerase I (New England BioLabs, Ipswich, MA, USA). We further constructed 18 cDNA libraries and sequenced the cDNA on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform according to the provided manual. For de novo assembly, first, the duplicated reads and low-quality reads were removed. This yielded 617,356,914 clean paired-end reads (Table 1). Unigenes were then de novo assembled using Trinity [55 (link)] through all of the seven RNA-Seq samples in the wild-type JI2822 background, respectively. We then used CAP3 to further assemble overlapping regions from a pool of all contigs from each of the RNA-Seq assemblies [56 (link)]. The resulting cap3 contigs and singlets were combined together and those that were smaller than 200 nucleotides were eliminated. A total of 192,977,028 clean reads were used during the assembly and this yielded 87,137 unigenes. The distribution of the de novo assembled unigenes is presented in Figure 1.

Genomic DNA was isolated from vegetative Oxytricha cells using the Nucleospin Tissue Kit (Takara Bio USA, Inc.). DNA was sheared into 150bp fragments using a Covaris LE220 ultra-sonicator (Covaris). Samples were gel-purified on a 2% agarose-TAE gel, blunted with DNA polymerase I (New England Biolabs), and purified using MinElute spin columns (QIAGEN). The fragmented DNA was dA-tailed using Klenow Fragment (3′ -> 5′ exo-) (New England Biolabs) and ligated to Illumina adaptors following manufacturer’s instructions. Subsequently, 2.2μg of adaptor-ligated DNA containing 6mA was immunoprecipitated using an anti-N6-methyladenosine antibody (Cedarlane Labs) conjugated to Dynabeads Protein A (Invitrogen). The anti-6mA antibody is commonly used for RNA applications, but has also been demonstrated to recognize 6mA in DNA (Fioravanti et al., 2013 (link); Xiao and Moore, 2011 ). The immunoprecipitated and input libraries were treated with proteinase K, extracted with phenol:chloroform, and ethanol precipitated. Finally, they were PCR-amplified using Phusion Hot Start polymerase (New England Biolabs) and used for Illumina sequencing.

To identify differentially expressed circRNAs, the left lungs of sham (n = 3) and CLP (n = 3) mice were used for high-throughput sequencing (Nanjing Decode Genomics Center, Nanjing, China) (Figure 1). Total RNA was extracted and ribosomal RNA was removed. A strand-specific RNA library was constructed. RNAs were digested into 200–500 bp fragments and then used as templates to synthesize cDNAs in the presence of a six-base random primer, dNTPs, RNase H (Thermo Scientific, USA), DNA polymerase I (New England Biolabs Inc., USA), and buffer (Thermo Scientific, USA). The PCR products were purified using the QiaQuick PCR kit (QIAGEN, GER) and end-repaired, followed by A-tail addition and sequencing-linker ligation. Fragment sizes were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis and then PCR amplification was performed. The sequenced library was used for Sanger sequencing by adopting a double-ended sequencing strategy.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The minigene gIQECS was generated by ligating a SpeI-XhoI genomic DNA fragment digested from mouse bacterial artificial chromosome (Library Plates 481, ResGen, USA, CA) into the modified pRK5 vector digested by XbaI and SalI. The 4952 bp genomic DNA contains the putative ECS, intermediate sequence and exon 41. The modified PRK5 vector was generously provided by Dr Miyoko Higuchi from Max-Planck Institute for Medical Research, Germany. Subsequently, in the same vector the ECS sequence was deleted from by overlapping PCR to produce the gIQΔECS minigene and the short IQECS minigene that supports the expression of only the RNA duplex was constructed by PCR prior to cloning into the modified pRK5 vector. All restriction enzymes, DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment and T4 DNA ligase were purchased from New England Biolabs, USA and used per manufacturer's instruction.

R-loop Mapping with DRIP Protocol Modifications

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
R-loop mapping was performed following the DRIP protocol50 (link) with some modifications. PATC53 cells were treated with 1 µM PRMTi or DMSO as control. One and three days later, DNA was extracted as described76 (link), but genome fragmentation was conducted by shearing via sonication using a Diagenode Bioruptor (12 cycles, High, 15’ON 90’OFF). As sonication degrades the single-stranded looped out DNA strand of R-loops, immunoprecipitation with S9.6 enriches mostly for two-stranded RNA: DNA hybrids. To build sequencing libraries, hybrids were transformed back into double-stranded DNA via a second-strand DNA synthesis step using E. coli RNase H1, DNA ligase, DNA polymerase I (New England Biolabs) and a dNTP mix in which dUTP was used instead of dTTP. After checking the quality of the immunoprecipitation by qPCR, the DNA was built into strand-specific sequencing libraries with a UDG DNA glycosylase step before the PCR amplification step to ensure strand specificity76 (link). Library quality was checked on an Agilent BioAnalyzer and sequencing performed on an Illumina HiSeq4000 instrument. Mapping was performed on two independent biological replicates.
