Total RNA (10 μg) was circularized with T4 RNA ligase 18, digested with RNase R (Epicenter) to remove linear RNA, and termini were amplified with gene-specific primers listed in Supplementary Data 6. Two biological replicates of long-range single molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing of 0.2–4 kb fragments was performed on a PacBio RS II system (Pacific Biosciences). Highly similar data sets were combined for final analysis. A single round of short-range sequencing was performed on a MiSeq instrument in 300 nt mode47 (link).
