Total RNA was reverse transcribed using SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase (LifeTechnologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Quantitative PCR was performed with iTaqTM universal SYBR® Green Supermix (Bio-Rad) on a CFX384 C1000 Touch (Bio-Rad). Hprt, Rpl13 and Sdha were used as normalization controls (Vandesompele et al., 2002 (link)). Each biological replicate was measured in technical duplicates. The primers used for RT-qPCR are listed in Supplementary Table S3.
