The samples were collected at 18°C, 25°C, or 29°C. AGO1 immunoprecipitation was performed as previously described (Kadener et al., 2009 (link); Lerner et al., 2015 (link)). Input and AGO1 IP Total RNA was extracted from fly heads using TRI reagent (Sigma) according to manufacturer’s protocol. cDNA synthesis was carried out as described in the Expression Analysis Technical Manual (Affymetrix). The cRNA reactions were carried out using the IVT kit (Affymetrix). Affymetrix high-density arrays for D. melanogaster version 2.0 were probed, hybridized, stained, and washed according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
