RiboMethSeq was essentially performed as previously reported (32 (link)). Briefly, 150 ng of total RNA was fragmented under denaturing conditions using an alkaline buffer (pH 9.4) to obtain an average size of 20 to 40 nucleotides. Fragments were end repaired and ligated to adapters using a NEBNext Small RNA kit for Illumina. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq1000. Reads were mapped to the yeast rDNA and snoRNA sequences, and the MethScore (fraction methylated) was calculated as MethScore (for ±2 nucleotides) (93 (link)), equivalent to “ScoreC” in Birkedal et al. (31 (link)). Statistical significance was determined by Student’s t test (P < 0.05).
