title: seed4-3
design: 30 mg of fresh dry Aethionema arabicum seeds were used to prepare the sample. RNA was extracted using a CTAB Chloroform based method. Subsequently long RNA fractions (> 300 nt) were separated from small RNA fractions (<300 nt) using the Qiagen RNAeasy kit. Quality was assessed using Bioanalyzer RNA 6000 Nano chips for long RNA fractions. Samples submitted for sequencing contain only long RNA fractions.
