10,000 hepatocytes from each sorted population were collected for library preparation. Cells were sorted into Lysis buffer supplied in Dynabeads mRNA Purification Kit (Invitrogen, cat: 61006). RNA was extracted by the kit according to the provided protocol. 2ul of the extracted mRNA from each sample were used for libraries. Library preparation was done with mcSCRBseq protocol66 (link). The cDNA was pre-amplified with 10-15 cycles, depending on cDNA concentration indicated by qPCR quality control. 2ng of the amplified cDNA was converted into sequencing library with the Nextera XT DNA Library kit (Illumina, FC-131-1024), according to supplied protocol. Quality control of the resulting libraries was performed with an Agilent High Sensitivity D1000 ScreenTape System (Agilent, 5067- 5584). Libraries were loaded with a concentration of 2.2pM on 75 cycle high output flow cells (Illumina, FC-404-2005) and sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina) with the following cycle distribution: 8bp index1, 16 bp read1, 66 bp read2 (no index2 needed). Total 40 libraries, eight sorted populations for five different mice were sequenced.
