RNA for sRNA-seq and mRNA-seq was isolated from the same cell-pellet using miRVana total RNA isolation (ThermoFisher, #AM1560). Small RNA-seq libraries were randomly prepared from 400 ng of RNA using the NEXTFLEX Small RNA-Seq Kit v3 (PerkinElmer, #NOVA-5132-05) using 16 PCR cycles. 10 synthetic calibrator RNAs44 (link) were mixed with the input RNA during the first ligation step. mRNA-seq libraries were randomly prepared using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina # RS-122-2101) with 400 ng input RNA. The sequencing libraries were sequenced on the NextSeq 500 System from Illumina.
