Total RNA was extracted from frozen butterfly thorax with Trizol (Life Technologies Corporation, CA, USA) followed by chloroform, phenol-chloroform-isoamylalcohol and second chloroform purification. RNA was precipitated with isopropanol and washed with ethanol. RNA quality was verified with NanoDrop measurement (Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc., MA, USA) and Bioanalyzer run (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). An in-house strand-specific library construction protocol based on polyA-anchoring.
