title: Transcriptome of Heterolepisma dispar
design: Messenger RNA (mRNA) was isolated using the Dynabeads mRNA Purification Kit (Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2, San Diego, CA, USA) and then sheared using divalent cations at 72°C. These cleaved RNA fragments were transcribed into first-strand cDNA using SuperScript™ II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and first strand mix (Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2, San Diego, CA, USA). The second-strand cDNA was subsequently synthesized using RNase H (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and DNA polymerase I (Invitrogen, Shanghai, China). The double-stranded cDNA then underwent end-repair, a single ‘A’ base addition, adapter ligation, purified by magnetic beads. At last, the product was indexed and PCR amplified to finalize the library preparation for the paired-end cDNA.
