Casava v1 8 2 or v1

For quality check, total RNA was analyzed using Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies) and RNA 6000 Nano Kit (Agilent) to ensure appropriate RNA quality in terms of degradation (average RNA integrity number (RIN) of 8). Total RNA was used for Illumina library preparation and RNA-seq [54 (link)]. 2.5 μg total RNA was used for indexed library preparation using Illumina’s TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 following the manufacturer’s instruction. Libraries were pooled and sequenced (5 samples per lane) using a HiSeq2000 (Illumina) in single read mode with 50 cycles using sequencing chemistry v3. Sequencing resulted in approximately 40 million reads with a length of 50 bp (base pairs) per sample. Reads were extracted in FastQ format using CASAVA v1.8.2 or v1.8.3 (Illumina).

To ensure appropriate RNA quality and evaluate RNA degradation, total RNA was analyzed using Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, USA) and RNA 6000 Nano Kit (Agilent).
