Total RNA was extracted from FFPE slices using the RNeasy FFPE kit (Qiagen) and the manufacture’s protocol. Synthesis of cDNA and library preparation were performed using the SMARTer Universal Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing (Clontech) and the Ion Plus Fragment Library Kit (ThermoFisher) as previously described [10 (link), 31 (link), 32 (link)]. Sequencing was performed using the Ion Proton S5/XL systems (ThermoFisher) in the Analytical and Translational Genomics Shared Resource at the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center. RNA sequencing data is available for download from the NCBI BioProject database using study accession number PRJNA940178.
