The samples were quantified using an Agilent 4200 Tapestation instrument, with a corresponding Agilent High Sensitivity RNA assay. The resulting RIN (RNA Integrity Number) scores and concentrations were taken into account for qualifying samples to proceed. The samples were then normalized to 2 ng/μL, before using KAPA’s mRNA HyperPrep library preparation kit. A final cleanup was performed using Aline PCRCLean DX beads in a 0.63x SPRI-based cleanup. The resulting purified libraries were run on an Agilent 4200 Tapestation instrument, with a corresponding Agilent High Sensitivity D1000 ScreenTape assay to visualize the libraries and to check the size and concentration of the library. Values obtained from this assay were used to normalize all samples in equimolar ratio. The pool was denatured and loaded onto an Illumina NextSeq instrument, with an Illumina NextSeq High Output 150-cycle kit to obtain Paired-End 75bp reads. The pool was loaded at 1.9 pM, with 5% PhiX spiked in to serve as a sequencing control. The basecall files were demultiplexed through the BioPolymer Facility’s pipeline, and the resulting FASTQ files were used in subsequent analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
