HEK293T cells in a 6-well format were transfected with 1-ug of an individual cshRNA vector. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, small RNAs (<70 nts) were isolated from total RNA as described in (20 (link)) and pooled. Small RNA libraries were prepared for Illumina small RNA sequencing from the pooled small RNAs using the multiplex small RNA library prep set (New England Bio Labs) and sequenced on a Illumina HiSeq 2500 and NextSeq 500 platforms (GSAF, UT Austin). Adapter sequences were trimmed from the reads using fastx clipper from the FASTX-Toolkit software (http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit). The preprocessed reads were then mapped to cshRNA reference sequences using SHRiMP2 software package (23 (link)). Small RNA reads were quantitated using custom scripts.
