title: GSM2695132: mature testis replicate 1; Equus caballus; ncRNA-Seq
library_construction_protocol: RNA degradation and contamination was monitored on 1% agarose gels. RNA purity was checked using the NanoPhotometer® spectrophotometer (IMPLEN, CA, USA). RNA concentration was measured using Qubit® RNA Assay Kit in Qubit® 2.0 Flurometer (Life Technologies, CA, USA). RNA integrity was assessed using the RNA Nano 6000 Assay Kit of the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). A total amount of 3 μg total RNA per sample was used as input material for the small RNA library. Sequencing libraries were generated using NEBNext® Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina® (NEB, USA.) following manufacturer’s recommendations and index codes were added to attribute sequences to each sample. Briefly, NEB 3' SR Adaptor was directly, and specifically ligated to 3' end of miRNA, siRNA and piRNA. After the 3' ligation reaction, the SR RT Primer hybridized to the excess of 3' SR Adaptor (that remained free after the 3' ligation reaction) and transformed the single-stranded DNA adaptor into a double-stranded DNA molecule. This step is important to prevent adaptor-dimer formation, besides, dsDNAs are not substrates for ligation mediated by T4 RNA Ligase 1 and therefore do not ligate to the 5´ SR Adaptor in the subsequent ligation step. 5´ends adapter was ligated to 5´ends of miRNAs, siRNA and piRNA. Then first  strand cDNA was synthesized using M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase (RNase H–).PCR amplification  was  performed  using LongAmp Taq 2X Master Mix, SR Primer for  illumina and index (X) primer. PCR products were purified on a 8% polyacrylamide gel (100V, 80 min). DNA fragments corresponding to 140~160 bp (the length of small noncoding RNA plus the 3' and 5' adaptors) were recovered and dissolved in 8 μL elution buffer. At last, library quality was assessed on the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system using DNA High Sensitivity Chips.
