Total RNA was extracted using the mirVana miRNA isolation kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA). The RNA quality was analyzed using a 2100 Bioanalyzer Instrument (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and concentration was measured using a Qubit fluorometer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). For sRNA and mRNA sequencing, the total RNA was sent for library preparation and paired-end sequencing at the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI), Stockholm, Sweden. The sRNA library was generated using TruSeq small RNA kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA), while the mRNA library was generated using a TruSeq Stranded mRNA Poly(A) selection kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The sRNA and mRNA libraries were sequenced on a NovaSeq SP flow cell with a 2 × 50-bp reads and NovaSeqXp workflow in S4 mode flow cell with 2 × 151 setup, respectively, using Illumina NovaSeq6000 equipment at NGI Stockholm. The Bcl to FastQ conversion was performed using bcl2fastq_v2.19.1.403 from the CASAVA software suite (126 (link)). The quality scale used was Sanger/phred33/Illumina 1.8+.
