title: GSM2795515: 2691670_TimePoint2_Whole Blood; Macaca mulatta; RNA-Seq
library_construction_protocol: Whole blood (3 ml) was collected in Tempus tubes (Applied Biosystems) that also preserve mRNA; these samples include erythrocytes, platelets and granulocytes in addition to mononuclear lymphocytes.  RNA was extracted using Tempus-Spin RNA isolation kits. The quality of all RNA samples was confirmed using a Bioanalyzer, with an RNA Integrity Number (RIN) greater than 8 recorded for all samples. Approximately 1 μg of globin depleted total RNA per sample was converted to double-stranded cDNA following poly-A beads selection to enrich for mRNA, and Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep kits to generate strand-specific libraries.  Adapters were ligated to facilitate multiplexed sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq3000 at the Yerkes Genomics Core, aiming for 50 million paired-end 100 base pair (bp) reads per library.
