Four-hundred cells were sorted directly into aliquots of 100 µL lysis buffer (Invitrogen Dynabeads mRNA Direct Kit; Thermo Fisher). Poly(A)-plus RNA was isolated using Invitrogen Dynabeads mRNA Direct Kit (Thermo Fisher, 61012) and sequencing libraries were prepared following Smart-Seq2 optimized protocol (Picelli et al. 2014 (link)). cDNA was quantified with D5000HS TapeStation (Agilent) and final tagmented libraries were quantified on D1000HS TapeStation (Agilent). Libraries were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq500 with 75 cycle High Output Kit v2.5.
